![]() Emotional opening ceremonies where they had everyone raise their hands...first the survivors,then those who have lost someone, then those who are fighting for a breast cancer-free tomorrow...then we all held hands (I had a hand free...) |
![]() Here they come!!! |
![]() The sign on her shirt says: "My Avon Walk For: Mom -- I miss you!" |
![]() First rest stop: next to the Capitol..I pause to take a pic of the walkers coming into the rest stop. |
![]() Me in Chinatown near the beautiful arch! |
![]() The Moo Guy...apparently he travels from walk to walk and goes all along the route to cheer us on |
![]() Me in front of the National Cathedral |
![]() We followed these arrows to tell us where to go...along the way there were signs like "Wake up Walkers!". I liked this one...it was after lunch on Saturday, around mile 11 and I needed the encouragement. Notice how there is no one else around? I just couldn't keep up with any group!! :-) |
![]() Ahhhh...made it. Ignore that stuff about what's ahead, I jumped on the bus and went to camp! |
![]() My tent!! Two crew members put it up, with my extremely limited help. |
![]() A shot from further away to show all the tents. It filled up quickly. The people on the other side of us set up their tent so close, they touched!. The big white tent on the right of the pic is the dining tent. |
![]() Inside the dining tent at breakfast on Sunday |
![]() Another sign to tell us how far we have to go...we were at the 4 mile mark on Sunday |
![]() Lunching at Galludet University |
![]() Walkers crossing the finish line. |
![]() Me at the finish line with my new tee-shirt that showed I DID IT!!! |
![]() More finish line pics... |
![]() In the midst of the final steps(I had already crossed, I just went back to get some shots)... That "Welcome Walkers" sign was the most-welcomed sight!!! |
![]() On the inside of the finish line...I don't know how anyone was still standing!! |
