The always link-worthy Jay Furr shared his personal reasons for walking in the 3 Day and being an advocate for breast cancer awareness in this highly recommended post. Jay then followed that post up by emphasizing why it is so important that everyone donates that can because the 3 Day is facing dwindling numbers over the last few years. You can read that important post here.
Now that her 3 Day event is complete, Nallie, of the blog Pounding the Ground, has decided to kick it up a notch by running in her local Race for the Cure. Read more about her plans to continue as an advocate for breast cancer research here.

Lauri, of the blog 60 Mile Thoughts, wrote about the things we leave behind at the 3 Day (the good AND the bad!) in this important post.
I link to a lot of posts about the topic of finding balance between real life and preparing for the 3 Day because I think this is a common struggle that everyone that takes on the 3 Day experiences. Lyndsey, of the blog My 3 Day Journey, is the latest walker to talk about her efforts at finding that ever elusive balance in this post.
Lilly, of the blog Lilly's Notepad, shared a whole slew of ways that family and friends can support their 3 Day walkers in this informative post. Read it and share it with everyone you know!
This past weekend was the Denver 3 Day for the Cure! Laurie, who writes the blog Guessing All the Way, was the Energizer Keep Going Blogger for this event. As always, she dutifully recapped each day. You can find her write up for Day 1 here, for Day 2 here and for Day 3 here.
Finally, with the next 3 Day event not taking place for a couple weeks, I wanted to end on this beautiful post from Kim of the blog I Want a Minivan where she remembered her mom on the eight year anniversary of her death. Her reflections are a perfect reminder of the real reason why we are all taking part in the Breast Cancer 3 Day.
