I could not be prouder to be a part of this 3-Day community. You all have shown me vulnerable moments that have, in turn, become inspiring stories that will stay with me for my lifetime. You are the most generous, thoughtful, bad-to-the-bone cancer-fighters out there, and I am better for knowing you. The 3-Day community never ceases to amaze me in the very best ways—happy Valentine’s Day to all of you. Love, Stephanie Myers, Sr. Manager 3-Day, Susan G. Komen
