Madera Moms
“I made it through 39.3 miles walked (26 first day/13 2nd day) with 3 blisters, an achy knee cap, tight quads, and a funky farmer’s tan. The good news…I finished the walk with a full spirit, and bigger heart. There were so many stories of lives that were affected by breast cancer, and I’m glad I got the chance to do this with the other remarkable women at my son’s school. We were the “Madera Moms Rock and Walk” team. I was able to raise $3,025 myself towards breast cancer.
Going in, I was very nervous that I didn’t train hard enough, especially just coming back from a 10 day vacation. The most I walked during my training (signed up in january) was 13 miles one time and shorter walks once a week ranging anywhere from 6-9 miles. I didn’t do a whole lot of walking! I’d have to give credit to IC Bootcamp for getting me through the rest. I was amazed at how well my stamina held up. I’ve never been a good runner and have done a few 5K’s but nothing as long as this. This Avon walk was definitely a personal accomplishment…”

congrats on a huge accomplishment! The smiles say it all.
Way to go, Cecie!! What a wonderful accomplishment for a wonderful cause. You rock!
That’s awesome! It is such an amazing event. I did the Avon Walk a few years in a row….it changed my life. I know how accomplished you feel after all that walking and talking and for the greater cause of helping women and families with breast cancer. Not only is it a physical task but it is such an emotional journey. Way to go Madera Moms!!!
Wow, that’s an amazing email to read. Thanks for sharing your adventures and your accomplishments!
Congratulations, what an accomplishment!
thank you everyone! can’t wait to get back to boot camp. if i can just fit my feet back into my shoes… sheesh!
another thing i also thought was cool was seeing all the children cheering their mom’s on with home made signs at the finish line. us mom’s are there for every soccer, baseball and basketball game cheering our kids on for every great thing they do. it sure was nice to be on the receiving end for a change!
As usual, I’m slow to catch up on the news, but Cecie, you ROCK!!! I’m so proud of you my dear. You are truly inspirational.
