With your help, I raised $3,999 !!!!! Thank you very much for your generous support of my walk.

Day 1 dawned grey and drizzly, but the enthusiasm of the walkers was not dampened. We started the walk at 7:00 am at South Street Seaport. We crossed lower Manhattan, passing Ground Zero to the West Side promenade. We walked all the way to Fort Tyron Park, the half way point (13.1 miles). We walked south, walking through the campus of Columbia University, and continuing past Central Park west. We turned east at the end of the park and walked to 2nd avenue. We turned north again and headed to Randall's lsland (under the Triboro Bridge). Day one completed !!!!

Day 2 was beautiful. We left Randall's Island at 7:45. Within an hour we had removed our sweatshirts and were enjoying the warm weather. We traveled down First Avenue to Chinatown, then west over the Manhattan Bridge. We walked through Dumbo to the a park under the Brooklyn Bridge where we enjoyed lunch. We then walked through a little bit of Brooklyn and finally made our way over the Brooklyn Bridge and to South Street Seaport. There was a huge crowd waiting to greet the walkers at the finish line.

The crew members who manned the rest stops and the people cheering along the route really helped lessen the aches and pains. They cheered for every walker who went past. It was really moving to see the names of loved ones printed on the walkers shirts. Some had photos of a mother or friend who had died of breast cancer.
