Never would I have imagined that I would have been asked to do this! You're probably curious how I ended up there? Well, I've told you about the "Weekend to End Women's Cancers" which I will be participating in on September 10-11. Today is National Wear It Pink Day where they are raising awareness of cancers and promoting the weekend, encouraging people to register and walk.
I've been working on some fundraising ideas, and called my 'walker coach' to ask a few questions. She must have decided to check out my personal donation page, where my blog is posted, and then decided to forward my blog to the communications co-ordinator for the walk. They were looking for a survivor to talk about why they are doing the walk, and I guess I was a good fit :) I got the call on Monday asking if I would be interested in being in the news to help out.
I feel pretty honoured that they asked me to do this....so of course I said yes!! Anything I can do to help the cause :)
Then after I was done the first interview in the morning, they asked if I would come back to their studios at 12 to do another interview!! I got there and had my makeup done for me.....I thought: "I could get used to this !!"
So that was my 2 minutes of fame today! It was lots of fun!

Kristal, its Samantha, your walker coach... I am soooo happy that you had a day being famous! I love your blog and your story. You are an inspiration to all women out there, and especially young women like myself.
ReplyDeleteI have read your whole blog and am so thrilled to be your walker coach and help you be a part of a weekend you will never forget.
I look forward to speaking with you in the near future, hopefully when you are feeling better! I cannot wait to hear all about CP24 and your Wear It Pink Day!
