And the blogging begins....

Let me tell you a bit about The Gene Skirt Divas and our mission of  'The Weekend to End Breast Cancer'.  On January 23rd, Diane decided to sign us up as there is someone dear to us that is fighting her way through Breast Cancer. We would like to dedicate this life-changing event to her as well as other members of our family that have passed from different forms of cancers.  She came up with our clever team name The Gene Skirt Divas.  'Gene' signifies busting and eliminating the gene that carries the disease.  'Gene Skirt" is also a play on words of 'Jean Skirt' due to our Calgary Stampede tradition, and who are we kidding, we are definitely DIVAS!!! 

During one amazing weekend, July 24-26, 2009, we will join thousands of women and men to walk 60km in 2 days, all in the fight against breast cancer and other women’s cancers. The money raised will go to benefit the Alberta Cancer Foundation and the Tom Baker Cancer Centre.

We will post every step of the way about the lead up to the Weekend on this blog.  As mentioned from our previous blog post, we are planning a couple of exciting events in the next couple of months. We will definitely firm up all the details by next week. 

Until then, keep on blogging:)
