2 More Weeks!

We are really getting in to an actual countdown now...2 more weeks! Our training has pretty much been non-existant for the past couple of weeks but life gets in the way sometimes. We still feel very confident about the whole journey and we know we can do it.

These days we are finalizing our outfits and making sure we have everything on our packing list. My sisters were kind enough to dedicate my birthday present to 3-Day merchandise for Edie and me. We feel like we are definitely ready to go. I think we have gotten to a point where we are tired of talking about it and we are ready to act!

I wanted to give you some information from the spectator portion of the website. They have finally given us an idea of where we will be and at what times. The final map won't be available until the week of the walk. They have also given us an address if you would like to send a word of encouragement while we are at camp.
Send letters to:
Susan G. Komen 3-Day
ATTN: JESSICA MITCHELL
1025 Rose Creek Drive, Suite 620-373
Woodstock, GA 30189

Envelopes only, please. No boxes or large packages. Mail must be postmarked no later than October 9th in order to ensure delivery at the 3-Day Camp Post Office. Please note: This address is not the actual location of camp, but a PO Box for mail delivery only. Any mail that is not received by the Susan G. Komen 3-Day by October 16th or retrieved by the participant by November 5th will be destroyed.
