We made it! Maple City
Market's team, "The Top Five Fruits and Vegetables," successfully
completed the Susan G. Komen 60 mile breast cancer walk. We survived
the heat on Friday, tents with no air conditioning, thunderstorms,
and the evacuation of our campsite. |
|
| We reached our goal of raising $15,000
for breast cancer research and treatment. Yeh! |
| What was different
about Chicago?
• We could get up and walk each morning.
• We had the energy to party at night.
• We stopped along the way for espresso.
• We were older and in better shape – amazing! |

What was great about the walk?
• Hanging out with friends.
• Raising money for a cause that mattered to us.
• Training – if you haven’t hiked or biked the Kal-Haven
Trail in Southwestern Michigan do so – it is great.
• Being physically up to the challenge.
• Being moved and inspired by all the people who struggled and persevered,
by all the people walking in memory of someone they loved, and by our own
commitment and resolve. |

| We all agreed that we would do the walk
again – just maybe not until 2006. Until the next time, we will keep
you in our hearts. Love, Janis |
