When you’re a Susan G. Komen 3-Day® walker, some things are easy to commit to. They’re just part of who you are.

1. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
2. Resolve not to buy every cute pink shirt/hat/pin/tutu/bra/fill-in-the-blank that you see. Just most of them.
3. Learn the Wobble well enough to be able to keep up with the Youth Corps.
4. Write fundraising thank you notes as soon as you get new donations.
5. Recruit one brand new walker to join you. (These tips and these tips will help.)
6. Limit yourself to one grahamwich per day on event. Okay, maybe only one per pit stop.
7. Commit to hill training. Mean it. (Okay, this one may not be so easy, but it’s definitely worth the effort.)
8. Tell the people you love that you love them. Do it often.
9. Keep your gear bag to 35 lbs. or less. For reals.
10. Meet new people.
11. Get outdoors.
12. Be amazing. Do incredible things. Change the world.
13. Go the farthest distance you can to put an end to breast cancer.
