🎀 OK, OK ... THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM!

First, Mother Nature threatened to rain on our parade. 🌧️

Then, we realized y'all had some serious Oktoberfest-ing to do! 🍻🥨

So, after checking the forecast, dodging the festivities, and giving the calendar ONE MORE LOOK ...

🥁🥁🥁 DRUMROLL, PLEASE! 🥁🥁🥁

🎀 OUR BREAST CANCER AWARENESS WALK/RUN IS OFFICIALLY MOVING TO SATURDAY, OCT. 24! 🎀

We've changed the date. We've changed it again. But there's ONE thing that will NEVER change , WHY WE WALK!

💗 We walk for the survivors who fought and won.

💗 We walk for those still fighting battles we may never fully understand.

💗 We walk in memory of the beautiful souls who are no longer beside us but will forever walk in our hearts.

And sometimes, we walk for someone who hasn't even begun their battle yet.

So, dust off those sneakers, find something PINK, and bring your friends, family, and coworkers!

🎀 OCTOBER 24 — LET'S MAKE EVERY STEP COUNT! 🎀
