A late start. Boobies Matter.

So, the Fledgling is a bit of a tubby person who likes to walk a lot.  I have a family member who is a cancer survivor.  She was the recipient of a breakthrough cancer treatment at Northwestern University.  This was 12 years ago and she's still going, full steam ahead!

Walking is good.  Cancer is bad.  I was going through Facebook one day and happened to see an ad for the Avon 39.  Walking against cancer!  Woot!  I have always wanted to do one of these walks to honor my family member.  I've also been walking a lot more.  What would 39 miles be?  Over two days!  Pish posh.  Not hard, right?

I signed up for the walk and committed to raising $1800.  No problem.  I thought of the walk and thought that this will not be hard.  But then I realized that I am extremely shy when it comes to asking people for money!

Ooops.  But I committed.  I AM committed. I am COMMITTED!

So this blog will serve as a storyboard for the Fledgling's path to something that is uncomfortable for her to do.  Out of the nest I flop.  I'm going to raise the money...not for me...but for other women who faced what our family did.  Cancer can be beaten.
