Jessica Callard's Pledge Page For the Avon 3-Day Walk From Bear Mountain to Manhattan Oct 11-13 2002
TO walk 60 miles from Bear Mountain N.Y. to Manhattan N.Y. 3-days of walking, sleeping in tents, and showering in trailers. WHY? To raise money for an extremly worthy cause. To help people facing this diease and helping them to overcome and win the battle. FOR MY MOM!!! Most of all for everyone touched by this terrible illness.
THE SMALLEST GOOD DEED IS BETTER THAN THE GRANDEST INTENTION
Imagine walking 60 miles.
Imagine walking 60 miles with 3,000 strangers.
Imagine walking 60 miles in 3 days, and sleeping on the ground in tents with the temperature at a chilly 30 degrees.
Imagine having to peel off 3 layers of clothes before you could shower.
Imagine shivering in your mummy sleeping bag and then walking 20 miles the next day on 4 hours sleep.
Imagine drinking gallons of PowerAde and water because despite the cold, as you walk you are sweating.
Imagine just wanting your home, your bed, and your shower.
Imagine walking 60 miles in 3 days.
Now imagine this:
Imagine a Girl Scout Troop who made thousands of beaded bracelets and pink ribbons to hand to each walker.
Imagine a man who despite loosing his wife to breast cancer this past summer continued her tradition of handing out fresh baked pink ribbon cookies to every walker.
Imagine getting a foot rub from fellow walkers on day 2 mile 32.
Imagine State Patrol Officers high-fiving you through intersections.
Imagine truckers honking air horns every time they pass.
Imagine hugs from strangers on street corners.
Imagine a thousand new, clean port-a- potties.
Imagine reading and learning about hundreds of strangers who died from breast cancer on the T-shirts of those walking ahead of you.
Imagine a wonderful woman who cheered us on up EVERY hill with blaring Motown music on her motorcycle.
Imagine the sign on my front door when I got home from my daughter who wrote, "Girls can do anything, especially YOU mom!"
Imagine standing with a group of 200 breast cancer survivors and thanking everyone for walking, so that my daughters will never know this disease.
Imagine the theme of the walk: Humankind. Be both.
Imagine raising $2,700 with the help of wonderful people like you.
Imagine raising 6 million dollars with the help of 3,000 other walkers.
Imagine saying "I can’t wait to do it again next year!"
Imagine an end to breast cancer.
