"I was honored to share the journey with an inspiring team and a wonderful support crew. I grew from the experience and can promote the benefits of regular exercise even more. Regular exercise helps with pain management and mental relaxation and is a great boost to an emotionally positive outlook! I am preparing to do a 10-miler, considering a 1/2 marathon. Who knows what next year holds?"

"Thank you, NCPAD, for asking me to participate in the Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk. It was one of the most inspirational endeavors I have ever taken on. With the assistance of NCHPAD staff, the course was made surprisingly accessible. Where there were questionable areas, someone was stationed there to see that we got through. Thanks again for the lifetime of emotions and great friendships."
