Why I’m Coming Back…

Last month, we asked our Susan G. Komen 3-Day® Facebook community to tell us why they will be returning to the Komen 3-Day in 2015. The responses ranged from heartwarming to heartbreaking, from entertaining to inspiring, but every one of them reminds us all about the importance of the 3-Day® and our part in it, to help end breast cancer.

We put some of your responses into a word cloud, and the rest of the wonderful comments can be found in the original thread (where you can also share your response, if you haven’t already), here: http://on.fb.me/1BEuokw

You’ll hear walkers, crew and spectators at cheering stations yelling out “Never Give Up” as you walk 60 miles on the 3-Day. It’s our version of Ra Ra Ra — and we mean it, in every possible way. Never give up on yourself. Never give up on the fight to end breast cancer.

Learn more about the Susan G Komen 3-Day Opening Ceremony in the walk against breast cancer

As the sun rises, walkers arrive for a magnificent weekend, heading first to the Opening Ceremony. The Opening Ceremony starts with beautiful music and a group stretch, and Dr. Sheri Prentiss, the official 3-Day spokesperson, will inspire you with words of encouragement. Soon, she shares the stage with some incredible people – your fellow walkers and crew members, who carry flags signifying their reasons for walking. And behind them, more flags are carried out, this time by breast cancer survivors. Dr. Sheri will give you one more “You can do this!” and we’re off!

Pit Stop Susan G Komen 3 Day Breast Cancer Walk

“Rest, Refuel, Relieve Yourself” is the unofficial motto of the 3-Day pit stops. Pit stops are magical little worlds that are themed, decorated, staffed with costumed crew members, and strategically located along the route every 3-4 miles. You’ll find snacks, water, sports drinks, medical attention (in case you need it), cheerleaders and so much more at each and every pit stop, and you’re never very far from the next one!
