Walk On!

Two weeks ago, Lauren and I participated in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. It was probably the most inspirational 2 days of my life. It restored my view of humanity and it still makes me teary eyed when I think about it. I am actually welling up as I type. Lauren and I along with over 3,000 other men and woman walked 39.3 miles for the same cause. People were following us as we walked through Long Beach, cheering us on and thanking us. One, in particular was a woman who had Breast Cancer, she didn't wear a hat or a scarf to cover her head that was almost completely bald. She held signs thanking us for supporting her through this struggle. I have never been more humbled in my life. The second day of the walk was the anniversary of my cousin Ian's passing. It was on our minds all day, and every once in a while we would look at each other and well up. I am glad we were surrounded by so much positivity that day. I have to say that even though Lauren and I were both in so much pain, neither one of us complained. We walked with blisters and achy legs because we knew why we were doing it. I will participate again next year and I want to say, thank you to all who donated; we couldn't have done it without you! Below are a few of my favorite pictures, enjoy!
