Update on Wanda's Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure walk.
From Wanda: Thank you for supporting my participation in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure. It was an incredible 60-mile journey and I have so many wonderful memories, too numerous to list here. Our journey took us from 60 Acres Park in Redmond to Kasch Park in Everett on Day 1; then around Everett Day 2; and finally through Seattle to Memorial Stadium for an energetic and emotional closing ceremony Day 3. Because of your generosity, and the support of all of my donors, I raised just over $2,500.00 to help end breast cancer. For more information about Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, visit komen.org; for more information about the Komen 3-Day for the Cure, visit The3Day.org. Thank you for making this possible. Maybe next year, you can join me!
Love, Wanda Sternberg
