Sunday, September 14, 2008! What a beautiful day. Thousands of walkers turned out at North Park Sunday morning. They walked in honor of those they lost and of those they pray will stay a part of their lives for years to come.
The best part for me was meeting so many ovarian cancer survivors. I met a woman who was a 30 year survivor, 22 years, 17 years. It gives me and so many other women who are just months or perhaps a year into this journey ..hope that we too can look forward to years of life.
My big bosses walked. The General Manager of KDKA, Chris Pike. John Verrilli, my news director, and his family walked. He even had a tee shirt on his dog.. a beautiful rescued boxer. My family walked. My friends walked.. Sally Wiggen from WTAE, Beth Dolinar who used to be an investigative reporter and now writes wonderful stories about raising children..Mary Robb Jackson showed up with a pulled ham string. Brenda Waters walked.
Olga George, a co-worker of mine at KDKA who also fought ovarian cancer, and I felt the support of those we work with and the support on Sunday of those we walked with. Thanks.
