One of Beth's best friends is Amy Lebowitz and Amy's mother is a breast cancer survivor. In light of her success and in celebration of research that made it possible, Amy decided to participate in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer this year in New York, and she invited her sister and Beth to walk with her. Beth agreed.

This may not be news to many of you as Beth has been hitting up asking us to donate in support of her fund raising for several months now. These fiduciary efforts along with a rather involved training schedule final culminated with the actually walk this weekend. At 5AM on Saturday morning, Beth went into the city to kick off the first day of her 40-mile walk. Unfortunately, in the end, she would be doing it by herself. Amy has been dealing with her own health issues lately and her sister, Abbie, came down with walking pneumonia during the week. And, despite the word "walking" being right there in the diagnosis, the doctor insisted that she skip this weekend's activities. To her credit, Beth completed the 2-day walk almost completely by herself (Amy and Abbie walked what the physically could) and she has 4 large trophy blisters to prove it. Thanks to everyone who supported her in whatever way you could. Congratulations, Beth.
