So THE Moonwalk..... I've done it twice before, in 2007 and 2008!
I love The Moonwalk, it's a fab event for such a great cause. I got the bug when I done the Race For Life in 2006 to raise money for cancer sufferers, inspired by my mum and dads friend, Reg, who lost his battle with the big C just before my RFL... I had heard of the Moonwalk but never got as far as actually registering for it, but then in October 2006 I went for it, I decided that if Reg could do the battle he had done then the least I could do was walk a few miles to raise some cash!! And now that's it - I love it, I can't see myself ever not doing the moonwalk!! I may even volunteer as well as walk in 2009!!
My Brother, Sean, and my future sister-in-law, Caroline (who I Moonwalked with this year), will be volunteering on the night which I'm so happy about, it'll make such a difference knowing they are there cheering me on! Not that I'll be on my own, Marni, Sarah and her sister are all part of team 'BRA-vo babes' too!!! And then there's Kelly and her gang of 6 that'll be there too, hopefully we'll get the same start time and walk with them for the first 10 or so miles before they go off to finish their half moon leaving us to trek on!!!!
The night is completely unforgettable and I can't wait for Moonwalk 2009! The atmosphere is amazing and Nina's speech so moving, especially the moments silence when we remember why we're all there in a massive pink tent in our bras!... it's all for one thing, to help the sufferers and help stop future suffering of Breast Cancer, pure and simple... and what better way to raise money than to power walk 26.2 miles (the .2 is very important!!) in a bra, in the cold, at night!!
I'm already planning my bra too!... and yes, I know it's only October and I have got six and a half months before the big night.... but I'm too excited!!
In 2007 our team name was "The Breast of Friends" and I wanted to try and base the bra round the team name so I completly covered in pink and lilac flowers and butterflies!
In 2008 I went all out on the Roll 'n' Roll vs Bollywood theme... our Team Name was "Hot Titty Nights" and we went all out to make our bras look like two disco balls (all be it small ones!!) but it looked fab!! complete with bunches, a mini r'n'r skirt, pink warmers... the works!! I'll put up photos once I work out how to load them!!
So this year... well the team name is "BRA-vo Babes" and because of 'Bravo' I'm thinking cheerleaders/HSM theme??!!!.....
I have to say I'm not really out training yet, but I do go to dancing twice a week for 2 hours at a time and I have my little 4 year old to run around after!! I'm sure I will be out training soon though, need some of these million mile socks everyone is shouting about first though!!! I've had mine a while now and they have either shrunk or my feet are getting bigger as they take about half an hour to get on!!
I do need to get in shape though... I've piled on a few pounds since last May so I have started myself on a healthy eating regime.... which went well and truly out the window today as we went to Legoland, who could resist ice cream and pots of marshmallows?!!!!!! I'm sure I worked quite a bit of it off walking round there all day though???!
Right, as you can see I like to chat!!!!... sorry about that! if you're still reading then thanks (!!) and by all means click to follow my blog, I'll be back when I start that training and if I ever figure out how to get my photos up then I'll post a few along the way!
Good luck to all those ladies... and men... doing the 2009 Moonwalk!
