I agreed to walk to support my friend Jan and her Cancer Well Fit project.  Jan Secord, our trainer, is a great friend and a real encourager to me personally.  She has been challenging me to incorporate exercise into my personal get fit program.  I am not a cancer survivor, but both of my parents were cancer survivors and my Dad passed away from liver cancer after battling and winning against prostate cancer.

My own battle is with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Jan has helped me build muscle and endurance to help keep me walking.  RA has attacked my knee joints and hands, feet and lower back, but walking strengthens the muscles that support those joints and makes me stronger.   I have been challenged and encouraged by this group of women.  Most of them have fought bigger fights in the health department than I have, but they are strong, and fast and energetic and excited and they make me want to be Well Fit too.  I came into this group to help raise the funds, now I am in it to be stronger myself and to do things I never thought I would be able to do.  Laughing all the way.  I love it.   suz
