The one in the middle (not wearing a pink hat) is Lisa. She drove around the route, beeping and cheering, telling us we looked DAMN GOOD!
Turns out that her partner, Carolyn, is a breast cancer survivor. These are Lisa's words from the message boards:
"First and foremost, I am deeply touched to have had the honor of being a part of the Philly 3 day journey with each and every one of you.I was absolutely amazed by the intense displays of strength, faith, and just plain determination.Throughout the walk several of you asked me about my story, so here goes:I walked with the love of my life for several years and am committed to the event. A few years back while going through fertility treatment, we decided that she would walk alone, but I went along and "did my thing". Over the years I've tought of going back to walking - but if I did, who would drive the car and cheer like a crazy woman?"
Lisa, as much as I'm sure your friends would love to have you walk with them, I really would miss you and your amazing attitude.
