[QUOTE=jesvetmed;420983]Posse: My heart goes out to you. Some of those events can be VERY emotional and bring everything to the surface. It's so nice that you rode for your mom. Great story about her.



I'm walking in the Seattle 3-Day. My fourth in a row! THANKS for being a Komen supporter. It is SO important. If you have never done the walk, it is an amazing experience. You should do it at least once.

I am a survivor and I have walked in the Austin one the last three years and a special "team" out of Houston last year. It was a group of doctors and support staff from the MD anderson Inflamatory breast cancer clinic. I am an inflammatory breast cancer survivor. I will reach 4 years over 4th of July weekend. Out of about 50 walkers in Houston I was the only survivor of IBC that was able to walk that weekend. We lost one of our "sisters" that sunday morning so it had even more meaning and was very emotional. I had forgot my husbands tennis shoes......so he was my support.... walking in his steel toed boots! Support is a wonderful thing.

Congratulations on FOUR YEARS SURVIVORSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!

That's really truly great, and it's really cool that you have such a team of supporters!

I lost my longtime friend to breast cancer just about 1.5 years ago. I still miss her so much. Glad to know there are so many great people out there fighting this fight. Some day, it will all be not necessary. Until then... we keep walking, I guess!

Good luck on this year's walk. There are a few of us on this forum.... Always great to meet another! I look forward to hearing about your 10th year of survivorship down the road! Meanwhile, I'll raise a glass to you on the 4th of July and celebrate with you from afar.

Cheers

Kathy, quite the ride report, i want to know where you buy Arancini!

Hi Mimi,

Thank you.

The place I bought Arancini was really nothing special; I'm probably being overly careful but am not comfortable saying where I live on a public forum. Maybe this will change as I visit TE more often.

You probably can find Arancini at an eatery near you by searching yelp.com.

I like your watercolors, especially il Gabinetto, the Jive Cats and your self-portrait. http://mimitabby.blogspot.com/
