"Think where man's glory most begins and ends, And say my glory was I had such friends." -- Wm Butler Yeats

Three days from the walk, and counting. At this point, I have donations from over 80 people as well as matching gifts where appropriate. I should like to thank each of my donors for giving to breast cancer in a tough economic climate. The great Irish poet says it right: "my glory was I had such friends."

Special thanks here to the folks who have got me ready to walk this year: Amy Lackey, my trainer; David Kirdahy, my chiropracter; and Brad Madden, my physical therapist. How we think about ourselves often affects what we can do -- each of these folks shows me over and over just how resilient I am.
