Day 3 Activities-San Diego 3-Day

2011-11-20T17:34:00.000-08:00

Today, we moved a little slower, but with more determination than ever. The 60th mile was only hours away.

We enjoyed Day 3 of our journey, meeting more new people and enjoying the San Diego scenery.

We managed to squeeze in our own kind of pitstop, visiting one of our favorites, Baja Betty's

No Margarita For YOU!

Bicely, Always Smiling

Hey, That's What We Always Say!

The Big Finish!

Another 60 miles in the book. Let's hope this year is the year we end Breast Cancer Forever.

So Proud of YOU ALL! WALKERS ROCK!

San Diego 3-Day: Day 2

2011-11-19T22:26:00.000-08:00

What an awesome day!

Started with glorious sunshine and was a beautiful day to kick cancer's fandango!
If you were out there, THANKS for coming out to cheer all the walkers.

Today we powered through the Riverbed, had awesome dance stops and pitstops, and met lots of new friends along the way. We also ran into some of our favorite friends from each year, like our favorite Safety Crew gal!

What else happened today? See for yourself...

Cindi and Robin - 10 years walkin' the walk together!

We got a little Artsy:

Bri Creates a Masterpiece

A Work of Art!

So Many Great Supporters Out Today!

Super Large Pit Stops Today!
So many walkers, so few port-a-potties...

Team Hula Hooters 2011

And finally, a special thank you to Steve and Gretchen for the delicious viddles (that would be dinner) at camp tonight. Bless Your Socks Off!

Our cooks tonight. Thanks to Steve and Gretchen for the salmon and Pam and Victor for helping get everything on the table. We are blessed to have such great support!

Bed. Sleep. Rest for the Piggies.
See you all tomorrow! Go Team Hula Hooters!

San Diego 3-Day-DAY ONE! An Awesome Start

2011-11-18T08:39:00.000-08:00

A great start. Opening Ceremonies, a little shopping, and all the Hooter Hupla.

SURE. WE COULD SHOP, BUT JUST FOR A MINUTE. WE HAVE 20 MILES TO DO TODAY...

NICE LEG.

PERFECT!

YES, DEBBIE ROCKS!

OUR CITY'S FINEST!

WALKERS ROCK!

Fueling up before the 3-Day!

Texas Hold'em FUNdraiser 2011

2011-09-12T14:22:00.000-07:00

It was a Texas-sized event with a Texas-sized outcome!
Team Hula Hooters annual Texas Hold'em Fundraising Tourney was hosted by Sarah, Julie and Jenn. The turnout was incredible and everyone had a great time raising money for the CURE!

Thank You Num Num Cake Pops!

Thank you so much to all who participated in this one. Team Hula Hooters appreciates your support!

Day 3-60 Miles Completed For a CURE!

2010-11-23T16:10:00.000-08:00

Day 3 of our 2010 San Diego 3-Day for the Cure was nothing short of Awesome.

As usual, the team was a little sore, a lot tired, and very ready for action!

Looking Good Ladies!

As soon as the turned the first corner, walkers showed their spirit! Every walker seemed like it was the first day: fresh-faced and excited.

We Got Spirit, Yes We Do!

The PD showed up just in time to challenge our new friends to a push-up contest...guess who won? Let's just say, GIRLS RULE!

GIRLS WIN! (with a little help from her friends)

As you can (barely) see, PD was "floored" by the awesomeness that is girl power.

All they could do was bow to the Woman.

Gotta Love the PD!

Even Rocky (actually, that's our Bumble Bri) showed up for the last leg of the walk.

Good Morning Rocky! (Brianna)

Around Mission Bay, we joined some really great supporters to cheer some super Walkers.

Woohoo!

It's Much Easier to Keep Movin' with Music!

Supporter Cuteness!

Oh, Yeah. And There's Always a Dance Stop!

ALOHA, WALKERS!

Met our Twitter friend, @walkers4life Robin Shannon at a Dance Stop along the way. Yay!

The walk continued as the rain began to come down again. Walkers donned their ponchos one more time and pushed through to the next destination...Old Town!

Say It With Me Now, "HILL NO!"

After a small pitstop at our favorite in Old Town, Casa Guadalajara, walkers punished the monster hill that is Juan Street in Old Town. No problem.

Robin's Workin' the Hill

Concentration...

This Walker Had the Moves-And Never Spilled a Drop of Refreshment

The Push Uphill Was Worth It For This View!

Next stop, Hillcrest!

So, we made a pitstop to visit our good friends at Baja Betty's.

We just love Hillcrest. I must say, out of all the support in all the towns we cruise through, Hillcrest is our favorite! Balloons and decorations line the streets, people cheer from every storefront and restaurant and bar. THANK YOU, HILLCREST!

We Love Debbie! (@zenatona) She Rocks the K.I.S.S.es in Support of the Walkers. She's at the 3-Day Every Year to Help Keep It Steppin' Sisters! XOXOXO Debbie! THANK YOU!

It was a beautiful Closing Ceremonies. Yes, we shed some tears, but mostly we celebrated.

We celebrated our victory-finishing our 60 mile challenge.

We celebrated braving the rain.

We celebrated our Survivor and Teammate, Sarah, who also completed 60 miles with us again this year!

We celebrated our loved ones-those who have won their battle against Breast Cancer and remembered those whose journey has ended.

We celebrated with our friends, old and new, who walked in San Diego this year and helped raise over 10 MILLION DOLLARS for Susan G. Komen for a CURE.

God Bless You Walkers and God Bless You Team Hula Hooters!

SJPD Got New Uniforms

We walked for some friends and family who have battled the aweful disease of Breast Cancer. Some who have won, and some who lost their battle.

2010-11-19T20:03:00.000-08:00

Well, we did it! We completed the first day of our 3-day journey for the CURE!
Our walkers finished 23 miles today...yes, I said 23. Wow!
And they did it in style!

Opening Ceremonies

Dance Stop

We took a poll at dinner of barbequed Salmon, Chicken, and wild rice. Not one Hula Hooter Walker has a blister.
Ain't that great?! Not to jinx it or anything, I just think it's great!
And I must say, the team looked GOOOOOD today. Nobody fell behind, no injuries, just a great first day!

We are really looking forward to what tomorrow brings.

This roadies personal hilight of the day was when the entire team brought me Graham Cracker Cookies filled with Peanut Butter and Jelly...mmmmmmm.

If you stopped by to SHAKE IT with our team, please check our Facebook Fan Page and our Twitter feed as well, as we posted different pix there!

Stay tuned for what is to be our BEST. WALK. YET! HUUUUULLAAAAAA!

It's Day Zero-Eve!

2010-11-17T15:09:00.000-08:00

What is day Zero?

Day zero is what we call the day before opening ceremonies. It is significant because it is the day we check-in as walkers for the 3-Day, turn in the last of our fundraising to qualify to walk the walk.

Thanks to you, all our lovely, dedicated supporters, we have all reached our fundraising goals! God Bless You for making a difference! And thank

s for those who attended our events. Look what happened at our last fundraising event below.

The Spa Day and Garage Sale were big hits. As usual, the spa day was like a Luau for Your Feet! And thanks to generous donations of household goods, we raised good money at the garage sale and gave what was left to a local cherity. Gotta keep paying the good deed forward!

We will check back in with you tomorrow...Stay tuned for some fun!

More FUNdraising Fun

2010-10-28T09:18:00.001-07:00

We have the best supporters! We know that Fighting Breast Cancer takes a lot of work. But, we throw in some fun every now and then!

Just look at the fun we had while raising $$ for the Cure!

The Comstock Grill was a blast!

And the Octoberfest Beer Tasting at Holiday Wine Cellar was oh so festive!

Thank you to all who came out to help our cause!

The 3-Day 2009 Wrap-Up

2009-11-23T11:11:00.001-08:00

A Roadie's Perspective

The walk seemed to have fewer participants this year, but the San Diego 3-Day still raised over $9 million dollars for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation! The walk seemed more intimate, as we met and became connected to so many wonderful people.
I noticed more Men walking this year. Guys like the 60 Mile Men and other teams, as well as many individual men, some much later in years, dedicated to finding a cure!

Once again, San Jose PD made the trip down to help keep us safe-and entertained this year. And as an added bonus, this year we were blessed to have San Diego's Finest for added support and security.

SDPD were all such good sports, allowing us to don their persons and their bikes with signage and pink paraphernalia. We even had our very own Team Hula Hooters "play thing" and "boy toy".

To all Law Enforcement and Emergency Personnel, We Thank You! ( even SD Fire Dept got in on the fun)

Our Roadie crew it seems, made an impact again this year. Although we are there to support our team with their needs, it gives us great pleasure to be able to offer assistance to all walkers. Yes, we also entertain. It's true.

We even had a special visit from our fabulous LaLa, who was FLAWLESS in her Pink-Themed Dominatrix ensemble...and putting a SPANKING on Cancer!

So to all our new Breast Friends, we are proud of you and we are glad we could be there for you. Keep up the great work for the Cure, don't forget your Breast Self-Exams, and we will see you next year!

Breast Cancer 3-Day Facts

2009-11-11T13:01:00.000-08:00

In Case You Were Wondering...

Breast Cancer 3-Day Facts:

Participants make a commitment to meet an individual fundraising goal of $2,300 and spend several months training to prepare for the event. They devote the entire three-day weekend to the cause.

Since its inception in 2003, more than $400 million has been raised through Breast Cancer 3-Day donations, contributions and sponsorships.

In 2008, the Breast Cancer 3-Day raised more than $110 million through donations, contributions and sponsorships. Of that, more than $79 million, representing 72% of funds raised, was invested in breast cancer research, education, and community health programs. The 72% return to charity exceeds the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Standards for Charity Accountability: www.give.org.

Breast Cancer 3-Day walkers travel an average of 20 miles a day during the event. Participants are provided meals, snacks, drinks, shower facilities, tents, safety guidelines and 24-hour medical support -- all resources needed for a safe and memorable experience.

The all-volunteer Crew spends the entire weekend with walkers and staff to make the event possible.

Why We Walk

2009-11-11T12:34:00.000-08:00

Breast Cancer Facts:

One in eight women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.

Breast cancer knows no boundaries be it age, gender, socio-economic status or geographic location.

The greatest risk factors for breast cancer are being female and growing older.

Early detection and effective treatment for breast cancer have been shown to improve survival.

Making healthy lifestyle choices may reduce the risk of breast cancer.
There are 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S. today.

Breast cancer affects more than just the patient co-survivors (friends, family and co-workers) need support, too.

These are a few reasons why we walk.

Awareness

2009-11-01T14:06:00.001-08:00

It is more than just a 3-day walk. Breast Cancer Awareness is a cause to which we have devoted much of our time, energy, lives. It's in the Big Things, like the 3-Day Walk, but it's in the Little Things, too, like the pink ribbon (pictured here) left annonymously on this fencepost to deliver the message of hope to passers by.

There are endless ways to support Breast Cancer Awareness, from simple reminders to major events.
What do you do to raise awareness throughout the year?
Remember that the Little Things, like leaving a pink ribbon, may encourage or remind those affected by the disease that there is hope and the fight for a cure continues.

Until a cure is found,
JL

3-Day 2008 Day 3

2009-02-09T10:31:00.001-08:00

Thoughts from Day 3:
Jodi-I will start with my favorite part of the day…Cheering the walkers into the closing ceremonies, one of them gave me their pink rose and thanked me for helping her get through the tough days by cheering the walkers on and being their for support. WOW. That made the whole weekend worth it.
Today was very special. One of my favorite days. To see Sarah complete the walk and enter the ceremonies in her pink Survivor shirt was so awesome. You INSPIRE me, Sarah! Way to kick cancer in the FANDANGO!
I loved that Lala showed up to help us cheer in her perfect body shirt. Once a hooter, always a hooter.
To all my hooters…I love you all. You are an inspiration and I am truly blessed to have you all in my life.

Robin - Wow! we all made it without torn up feet, only a few sore muscles. I’m ready to do it all again. Sarah, I am so proud of you, there is something about digging deep that most people will never get! And Brianna, you rock! “never knew your feet could hurt so much” is your line I will always remember. Julie, thanks for listening to me during the training we did. Cindi, 7 walks down and counting. Lily, “where did she go”? Genie and B, shake that bootie. Jodi, thanks for your never ending web/photo/blog/tshirt support.

I”m all signed up for next year, who’s next?

3-Day 2008 Day 2

2009-02-09T10:30:00.001-08:00

Day 2-The girls left camp at 6:30am. Off to the starting line. The roadies followed the walkers all day, mostly following the team for motivation. They made a few dance stops along the way. They were a hit!

Anyone Have Any MoleSkin?

Day 2 is finished. 40+ miles walked for Breast Cancer. It was a beautiful day in San Diego. It was overcast and even foggy this morning at Crowne Point. But once the walkers reached La Jolla Shores, the sun came out and the Hula Hooters were in full swing!

These pictures depict only some of the hilights of the day. Each walker on the team walked the entire way today. Not one of us took the sweep vans. Way to Go Ladies! SDPD stopped by for dinner…thanks for coming guys! You rock! Oh, yeah, and Victor BBQ’d salmon for dinner and Charlie did the chicken. MMMMMmmmmmm.

Good Nite ladies. Sweet Dreams. Don’t forget your Advil.

Here are some thoughts from the team today, Day 2:

Robin-Hey. I want to use an expletive right now, but Jodi tells me it’s a Family Blog…so,all I can say is I got my first blister in 7, yes seven, years of walking. I am whining. My favorite part of today was the weather.

Julie-Today was a great day because it felt like so much less than 20 miles. It was a great day because of all the music Brianna was playing. And Sarah got pinned from somebody and a walker found out who the “sarah” was on our shirts and walked for her from then on. I was very proud of Brianna today. My favorite part of today was the courage and strength of my teammates encouraged me, especially Brianna!

Cindi-Today was a good day because it wasn’t as cold as usual. Plus I had a stick that helped me walk. It was a walking stick. My bra felt good. My hat felt good. Life was good. My favorite part of today was turning a corner and seeing my girlfriends dancing their brains out so I could make it another few miles with the incredible pain in my joints!

Sarah-I waited for my roadies at the bottom of the hill, so I had to take the hill, then I waited for them again, but they were stuck in traffic again, so I took the hill again(that makes two big hills), I am so glad for the traffic. Without the traffic I would have not taken the hill. And I DID IT! My favorite thing about today was watching Brianna’s fanny helped coax me up the hill!

Bicely-My day was awesome.It started off with a dance stop. That dance stop never ended until the last Hula Hooter crossed the finish line. My perfect body suit, of which I am in a hot thong bikini, was the main attraction. OK, it was the ’sweet love’ tatoo on my lower back. My favorite part of today was watching the walkers come to life when they heard the Roadie Music!

LIlly-Looking at those hills…(grabs her forehead)then, looking at the end of that tunnel. Finishing was a satisfaction. My favorite part of today was all the cheering stations, looking at all those happy faces that motivated me all the way, plus these young chicks in their bikini shirts, that helped pump up the volume and helped us move every step ahead.

Genie-So, the bicycle cop stopped when he saw me shaking it, pulled out his handcuffs and then slapped my fandango. He was with San Jose PD, just so you know. It was such a great time because I had such a great crew with me in the Roadiemobile. We had the walkers in stitches! My favorite part of today was all the dance stops with the roadies.

Brianna-I was grooving to the sound of Michael Jackson. Hanging out with Julie was really fun. My favorite part of today was being a Pack Leader with Julie.

Jodi-My Roadie team had me in stitches today, as they shook what their Momma gave ‘em. My favorite part of today was Robertos. We ordered 24 rolled tacos with extra cheese and guac for Team Hula Hooters. We ate them by the roller coaster in Belmont Park. I have a slight sunburn from the haze. Don’t forget to re-apply.

3-Day 2008 Day 1

2009-02-09T10:18:00.000-08:00

And they’re off!

The 2008 Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk has begun. The good news is now there is less than 60 miles to go!

Stay tuned throughout the next three days as we document in word and picture the journey of Team Hula Hooters. Keep us all in your prayers. Thank You!

7:26pm-DAY 1-As we speak, the Hooters are lining up for Genie’s magic massagers. She brought a foot massager and a professional back massager, like they use at the chiropracter. Many ooooos and aaaaaahs are coming out of our campsite right now.

Here are a few comments from the team on day 1:

Brianna-Good Nite.

Cindi-Every year, I start off excited and refreshed. Gonna go gangbusters! By Torrey Pines I am thinking, is my heart going to stay in my chest? But walking with my hooters, and the girls too, knowing that all my friends and family contributed to make sure I could walk for their friends and family made something so hard so SWEET!

Victor- Genie needs sunscreen.

Sarah-Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil NO!

Genie-I want to thank Premier Reprographics for doing such an awesome job on our banner! Sooooo many compliments! Thank You!

Lilly-I found my friend from the bus last year. We were both walking this year! WE made it!

Julie-I am very proud of our first time walker, Brianna! Way to go Hooters!

Robin-I’m in the shower right now…I need a new computer.

Bicely-I didn’t think that being a roadie would be as exciting as walking, but it turned out to be a great experience today!

Jodi-I missed all the fun, but i get to catch everyone up on the blog…tomorrow, Roadies here i come!
