Save me, San Francisco

There are a lot of expectations I need San Francisco to meet. See, I am all sort of stressed out lately and whenever I look at the light at the end of the tunnel, I see San Francisco.

For the past few months, and for the next month, I have had a lot on my plate. I need to meet my goal of finishing this 60 mile walk, I need to raise the money to be in the walk, I need to keep up with my school work, I need to arrive at work every day ready to go and I need to, you know, stay sane.

When all of it gets to be too much I think about what an amazing trip and experience I have ahead of me. That's why I find it so crazy that Train just released a song called "Save me, San Francisco."


I think this song is an amazing coincidence for this time in my life. First off, notice the pink lights in the beginning of the song :) Second of all, some of the lyrics represent how much I want this trip to energize me and take some of the stress away. Third and most importantly, I think some of the lyrics in this song really represent the battle against breast cancer.

"I've been high I've been low,
I've been yes and I've been oh, hell no!
I been rock ‘n roll and disco,
won’t you save me San Francisco? "

I think breast cancer patients, survivors and family members who are heading to Cali to make this walk, need it for many more reasons than I do. They will not only accomplish a huge challenge, but they will see the thousands of people supporting them and will get to meet other people who understand their journey.

I am thrilled to wear the names of brave women who have battled this disease and I am anxious to learn about the fascinating people I will meet. I look at all of my life's stresses and realize that they are nothing compared to what these people and families have gone through.
