I was diagnosed with breast cancer October 2007. My first "Kat's Courage" team formed after I finished treatment and began to recover from surgery. As my team started to grow and I started raising funds and training for the walk, I began to feel stronger and stronger. I began to feel like I was getting my life back! I had a team of 11 friends who together raised $27,500. In October 2008, we walked 60 miles for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-day for a Cure. We felt like rock stars as we walked across that finish line into a room full of thousands of people cheering for us. We knew we were a part of something BIG. In October 2009,we had a team of 14 who walked in the ATL 2-day walk for breast cancer and raised over $14,000 for local breast cancer charities. On October 22-24, 2010 we will once again be participating in the Atlanta SGK 3-day for a Cure . This is such an amazing event to be a part of. Each team member is committed raising a minimum of $2,300 and training to walk 60 miles over the course of 3-day's. This is a big challenge and there are so many reasons why I want to continue. It is so amazing to me to hear that the ATL walk alone raised over 9 million dollars last year. I feel like a big part of the reason I am alive today is because of the advancements in breast cancer treatment that have been directly related to SGK. I would love to see my team grow. If any of you are interested in joining 'Kat's Courage" there is plenty of time to train and raise money for this years walk. We like to work together as a team to help each other raise money and train for walking in this event. Together we can put a stop to this disease. Thank you so much for your support!
