Breast Cancer 3-Day 2009

We are very happy here because we can see the Capitol - our final destination!

Team Giddy Up is recovering from walking 60 miles for the Breast Cancer 3-Day. It was an amazing journey and we had a blast along the way. It was challenging at times, but we worked our way through it. We are all so proud to have participated in this event and couldn't have done it without all of the support from our family and friends. Here is a sneak peek at our weekend. We will post more when we have the energy!

You can participate in the Breast Cancer 3-Day...without walking 60 miles.

Did you know that you can participate in the Breast Cancer 3-Day…without walking 60 miles? Come on out to one of the cheering stations along the 3-Day route and cheer on Team Giddy Up! We have been told that the cheering stations are a lot of fun for everyone and we would love to see you out there!

Hope to see you there!

Hanging in the back yard with Sven...

On Thursday we participated in the '3 day for the 3-Day Tread-a-thon,' sponsored by Cities 97 and Kare 11 news. We won $1000 for the Breast Cancer 3-Day by walking on treadmills during the newscast. We had a great time hanging in the backyard with Sven! Thanks to Cities 97 and Kare 11 for this wonderful opportunity to raise awareness about Breast Cancer.

We are going to be on TV!!!

Team Giddy Up was selected by Cities 97 to participate in their 'Tread-a-thon" and receive $1000 for the Breast Cancer 3-Day! On Thursday, August 6th we will be on Kare 11's 5PM newscast keeping the treadmills going! There are 15 teams that will be walking during the newscasts next week and we are lucky enough to be one of them. During the 6 PM newscast on Thursday they will also select one of the 3-Day teams to receive an additional $5000 for their fundraising. So tune in to Kare 11 on Thursday evening to see us raise some $ and awareness for Breast Cancer!

Overwhelming support from the small town of Nashwauk...

Team Giddy Up and Rack Rescuers joined forces this weekend for a special event in Nashwauk, MN. Together at total of $1,269 was raised for the Breast Cancer 3-Day! The lucky winner of the raffle was Brian Johnson of Penguilly, MN. This event would not have been possible without Wizard's Bar & Grill offering to host the event and donate prizes. Thank you for your support. We would also like to thank all of the people who came out and purchased raffle tickets. We appreciate your support!

Way to go Kelli, way to go!

Congratulations to Kelli for meeting the required fundraising goal of $2,300 for the Breast Cancer 3-Day! You have worked so hard and had a blast along the way! You really put your organizational skills to use planning great fundraising events. You have done an amazing job and should be very proud of yourself. Now you can relax and focus on training! Way to go Kel!
