Giddy Up walks again!

Hello Friends!

We are so excited to share the news! Team Giddy Up will be walking in the 2012 Twin Cities Susan G Komen 3-Day for the Cure! As you may remember, we first walked in 2009. We had various team members crew in 2010 and 2011 and now we're all ready for the 60 mile challenge again.

Our first walk was such a journey. We laughed, we cried, we grew, and we conquered. As a team we raised over $12,500! We reached our goal with the support of our friends and family. We are asking for that love and support again.

In 2009 we walked for all the great women we know who have battled this terrible cancer, some who have won and some who have lost. We walked in honor of all of them. In 2012, we walk for those women again, but this time we are also walking for a friend who is fighting her battle right now. She is a mother, wife, friend, teacher, and courageous and fierce fighter!

We are walking so that someday we won't have to anymore, because EVERYONE deserves a lifetime!

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!
