PLEASE HELP ME FIGHT!!

Patti Jo (Holland) Watson 11/3/65-2/4/97

I started this journey to honor my younger sister, Patti. We lost her when she
was so very young (barely 31)…but through the years WAY too many other names
have been added to the list of those I walk for … and the list continues to
grow, which hurts my heart.

I am not rich, nor famous, so I cannot do much, but I CAN put one foot in front
of the other as my (very) small contribution to raise awareness and funds to
help get the job done.

I walked the Michigan 3Day every year starting in '05 through the last event in
MI in '19 (15x). I have also walked in San Diego (2015, 2018, 2021), DFW (2016,
2022), Seattle (2017), Boston (2019), Chicago (2022, 2023) and Denver (2023).

There are no walks in MI anymore, so for 2024 I have registered for Denver & New
England (Boston).

People ask me all the time why I continue to walk these events year after
year…and the answer is simple. I do it because there still isn’t a cure…YET!

Strides have been made, but no cure...

So *I* will keep walking as long as I am physically able, and as long as I can
continue to raise the funds to do so…because I cannot ‘walk away’.

I have some fantastically generous and loyal donors, without whom I would NOT be
able to continue walking, and I truly CANNOT fully express how much I appreciate
their continued support.

If you are reading this I SINCERELY hope YOU will help and support me too.

#IAMthe3Day

I walk 60 miles in 3 days for:



♥ My sister, Patti Jo (Holland) Watson (11/3/1965 - 2/4/1997) Taken from her 3
young children, her parents, our siblings, her aunts, uncles, cousins, and
friends when she was barely 31 years old.

♥ My Momma & Daddy – NO parent should EVER lose their child to cancer.

♥ My 3 sisters, Cyndi, Tina, and Mary - I am so very thankful to have them

♥ My 5 daughters, Jenny, Tina, Nina, Rachel, & Sasha; my
daughters-by-anther-mother Megan & Kaylie, my 3 sweet granddaughters, Raina,
Brooklyn, & Tanner; and my adorable nieces, Dani (Danielle), Deyar, Gabriella,
Brandy, Kayla, & Kyra, & my great-niece Aaliyah.

♥ My 3 handsome sons Bobby (Robert), LG (George), and Jamie (James), & my 6
adorable grandsons, Donovan, James, Jacob, Carter, Jonathan, & Adrian.

♥ My dear ‘Sisters of the Heart’, LeAnn & Celeste - who manage at least
‘tolerate’ me and ALWAYS support me (no matter what).

♥ My Aunts & Uncles, my cousins & my friends, for people I have never met, & for
YOU.

As long as I CAN still put 1 foot in front of the other or until a cure is
found 

I MUST keep walking.
