How do you even start??? How do you say thank you to people you have never seen or known in your life!!!??? From watching six year old boys walking up the hill to the bridge swinging bras above their heads to the CEO of Women's Care taking down the HUGE rope we had strung across the river...so many THANK you's need to be said!!! Doug and I literally could not have done this without all of you!
This was a crazy idea I had as I was crossing the bridge shortly after a friend of mine died of breast cancer. I had this vision...bras linked like women standing together in unity. ARM in arm...fighting, laughing, crying, celebrating, mourning...
To see 1,400 bras hooked together flying in the breeze...one of our coworkers said to me, "is this your vision?" I just about had an Oprah ugly cry right then and there. YES!! This was my vision. Exactly what I had seen in my head. It was perfect!
I really think we will do this again next year. Maybe we can do it in two places? Two bridges? Not sure but I love the idea of celebrating women. If we can have some fun and laugh together more...we can make it through anything that comes our way...including breast cancer!
Thank you everyone!
