Saturday, October 2nd, was the day of the big event – Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, a 5K walk through downtown Everett and the Historic North Everett Neighborhood. It was sponsored by the American Cancer Society. With her freshly minted survivors medal, Peggy headed up the team Tough and Determined (TAD). TAD raised $1,075 and came in 18th out of 82 teams in funds raised. Joining the team were Sue, Chris, Judy, Carol, Marcia, Jacqueline, and others, and well as yours truly. Helping to guide us were Marcia’s dog, Huck, and Jacqueline’s dog, Moxie.
Winston was with us the whole way, and excited to be in this wonderful event, surrounded by brave, determined, compassionate women. He charmed the walkers, especially the kids, who took breaks to pet him. He may be an Agility Dog in training, but a 5K trot proved a BIT too much for his little legs. Thanks to Carol for helping to carry him.
