I would like to thank Susan from A Southern Daydreamer for hosting Outdoor Wednesday. Click on the link to see other outdoor posts. The outdoor activity that my step-sister and her family attended was a walk for the American Cancer Society. Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is more than just the name of a walk, it describes the progress in the fight against breast cancer. It was held this past Sunday, which was a cold, rainy, miserable day. However, the rain didn't stop these people.
My step-sister, Nancy, is in the pink hat and holding the sign. Nancy should have added her own name on the list. She is the most humble, unselfish person I know. 
Making Strides is not a race; it is a celebration of survivorship, an occasion to express hope, and a shared goal to end a disease that threatens the lives of so many people we love.

What a wonderful post. Sorry the weather was not very cooperative.
Thank you for visiting and I did put my other header in my sidebar. It is too small to notice I think . I will put it up as header again maybe in spring. Thank you for the tip.

Hello Karen,
I think it is great that the weather was not a deterrent for the walk. Thank you for a great reminder post. Mammograms are so important. I actually have one scheduled two weeks from today.
Thank you for sharing!

Hi, Karen. This is just super! That is one dedicated group!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Great cause and great pictures. I haven't had a mammo in a couple of years but I have an appointment with my new doctor in a few weeks and will see that I get one scheduled then.
It looks so cold and wet, so seeing you all do this walk was even more inspiring! Greta cause. Yes, I schedule my mammogram every year in my birthday month so I don't forget!
Happy Outdoor Wednesday!
Karen,
Your blog is beautiful, thank you for stopping by and saying hello. Looking forward to more sharing with you.
Hugs
