I will be walking in remembrance of those I've lost and everyone else who's lost their lives to cancer. I will also be walking for those who won and those that are still fighting. I wish we could live in a world without this monstrous disease but sadly that's not the case. I'm walking so that maybe one day the word "cancer" won't break your heart because we will have the cure to kick its ass every-time. I hope for that. That's all I want. F**k cancer.
On August 26th 2023 at 11am I will begin my 24hour walk and finish at 11am August 27th 2023. The 24hour walk is symbolic.
The beginning represents the diagnosis, knowing you have a long journey ahead.
The middle represents treatments and the agony of knowing you arent at that finish line yet.
Just over half way through feels like you won’t make it, that you should just quit. But you do not quit. You keep fighting.
The final minutes represent remission. Your body goes through hell and that sense of relief fuels your body and you feel nothing but joy.
It is not just a walk to me. I am unsure on the location I will be walking. I will update my page once I know so that if anyone wants to they can join me. The Relay being canceled will not stop me from continuing to challenge myself by completing this walk.
All the funds I raise will go to where ever it is needed most.
