Hello! My name is Nicole—I’m 16 years old and so excited to be starting this blog! This coming August I will be taking on an amazing challenge. I will be walking 60 miles in 3 days in the Michigan Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure! I will be camping out in pink tents with thousands of other men and women also taking this amazing journey. I will be taking showers in trucks and using porta potties with no running water but I will not complain because I am doing all of this for just one simple reason… to find a CURE for breast cancer!

My blog, 60 Miles 1 Goal is designed to let you in on my journey of walking 60 miles for 1 goal, to end Breast Cancer FOREVER! Follow me as I walk endless miles while training, as I raise my $2,300, and finally follow me while I take the amazing journey of walking those 60 miles August 12-14th!

I will be walking along side my mom this year who is a veteran to walking those 60 miles. She has walked in the 3-day for 6 years! Ever since she started I have wanted to walk but I couldn’t because you have to be at least 16. This year I am 16 and I get to walk! I am so excited!! We will be walking for so many but especially for my cousin, Jennifer. She was so strong during everything she had to go through, walking 60 miles will be like a walk in the park compared to what cancer patients have to go through. Which brings me back to why I am doing this… because everyone deserves a lifetime. Every mother, every sister, every daughter deserves to know a life free from breast cancer!
