2014 3-Day: Another 60 miles done and $103,190 raised!

What happens when you combine three days of sunshine, mellow temperatures and a small army of smiling (and dancing) walkers? It's the 3-Day, and the BC Babes rocked the 2014 Michigan 3-Day for the Cure!

Day 1 started with an emotional Opening Ceremony at the Suburban Collection. BC Babes Sandra Scarcella was honored to carry the "My Friend" flag, Dorothy Twinney stood strong in the Survivors' Circle, and Beth Northman displayed a photograph of Sr. Carol Juhasz, a former BC Babe.

The route took us 22 miles through the amazing and supportive communities of Novi, Farmington and Farmington Hills, with appearances by our favorite walker stalkers Ian Mendel (unofficial team photographer), Medicine Man (aka Stony Creek man or Soft Hands Man), the Dancing Lady (Kathy) and our favorite cheering station, hosted by BC Babes friends and family. Camp activities were highlighted with Tony and his new friend from Chicago showing off a few slick moves.

Day 2 wound through Northville and Plymouth, including a stop at Kellogg Park, one of the best community supporters of the 3-Day in the country. With the fountain dyed pink and hordes of supporters hanging out to cheer walkers on, the town turned out to support the 3-Day.

Our route took us another 22 miles (or 23 depending on your GPS, but hey, those are Komen miles), and deposited us at camp weary and worn, but ready for the dance party and cupcake tower we earned as top Fundraising Team in Michigan.

Day 3 started with a brief bus ride to Livonia (thankfully our co-captains knew the way, since our bus driver didn't), where we took off for another 16 miles through the neighborhoods of Livonia and Dearborn. We ended our trek at Ford World Headquarters, where the Babes walked into closing doing the BC Babes Boogie.

The closing ceremony was incredibly moving, with Sandra holding the "My Friend" flag on stage with Dorothy Moon by her side, and Dorothy Twinney standing among the Survivors on stage.
