Pink Pirates in Texas!

For as long as we've been "the pirates," we have challenged ourselves to step out of our comfort zones (sometimes WAY out of our comfort zones) to learn, to grow, and (most of all) to have fun!! At the start of this year we struggled to decide what to put on our 2024 Life List - but we knew it was time for something BIG. 

Denise came up with the perfect challenge... The Susan G. Komen 3-Day in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, happening Nov. 1-3. 
  • 3 days.
  • 60 miles. 
  • $2300 toward breast cancer research, care, and advocacy... EACH.
It's BIG. It will challenge us. But we also can't think of a better way to honor Denise and her recent journey through a breast cancer diagnosis - as well as the others in our lives who have been affected by the disease. 

To date, over 500,000 walkers have participated in a Komen 3-day event. And together that group has raised over $92 million. Those funds go directly to research projects and clinical tries leading to new developments in cancer treatment. Learn more. 

And our pirate crew is growing! After a little "convincing," Heather has joined us as the fourth member of Pink Pirates in Texas! She's the perfect addition to balance out our team and the FIRST pink pirate to hit her fundraising goal! 

Now it's time to focus on training - and the rest of that fundraising. To date, we've planned the following: 
  • ✅ Zumbathon 
  • ✅ Wellness Challenge 
  • ✅ Yard Sale 
  • ✅ Bus Trip to NYC 
  • 🔜 Music Night - In the works! Details coming soon!

We are excited to share our progress with you as we get closer to that starting line. Learn more about the Susan G. Komen 3-day, our new teammate, and our plans to raise almost $10,000 in episode 113

We also invite you to support your favorite pirate with a donation to Susan G. Komen. Donations of any amount are welcome and greatly appreciated. Thank you for supporting us in our biggest adventure (yet)!
