KERRIS AVON WALK CHALLANGE
I'm Kerri Saikin (collegegrl4god) & my mom was diagnosed when I was a senior in high school in April of 2001. I am so proud of my mom because she was able to make it to several awards ceremonies that I had just after her surgery & even to my graduation! Since she was diagnosed I have done MANY breast cancer walks including the Komen Race for the Cure, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, City of Hope: Walk for hope to cure breast cancer, the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, which is a multi-day walk & is nearly 40 miles long!

A year later in 2002 after my mom's diagnosis with breast cancer I had my own personal scare with breast cancer when I found a lump & had surgery to remove it & thankfully it was benign! I do many walks for breast cancer & I'm very proud to do them. Honestly before my mom was diagnosed I NEVER imagined doing any breast cancer walks but now I do several a year.  I also never imagined that I would be as to be bold enough to go bald for kids cancer, but in 2003 I boldly went bald for kids cancer in Camden, MI on March 15, 2003. I was also bold enough to do it again this year, two years in a row to be bold by going bald for kids cancer on March 20, 2004 in Camden, Michigan.


Here's my before and after pictures for the 2004 St. Baldrick's Celebration that is on March 20, 2004!
