Bee Bops & Lollipops Blog

Breast cancer affects all of us in on way or another and BB&L is determined to supporting Susan G. Komen in the effort to educate & find a cure.  This year Bee Bops & Lollipops teamed up with BabyLegs LLC to outfit walkers of this year's Susan G. Komen for the cure Breast Cancer 3-Day in Seattle with the exclusive Pink Ribbon BabyLegs.  We handed out oodles and oodles of BabyLegs to many emotional and thankful walkers.  This year the three day route went right down Grand Avenue in Everett Washington, directly in front of the home of Mariah Miller (and husband Erik), the children and organizers of Team Mama Fox  Team Mama Fox recognizes late Darlene Fox for her courageous fight against breast cancer.  Sadly, breast cancer claimed the life of Darlene in February, 2008.  Mariah, her brother Logan, and their spouses and children decorated the entire Grand Avenue block on which their house sits, providing encouragement, refreshments, a little dancing and loud cheering to all who walked through the balloon arch.  Met with tears and many thanks, we were there to hand out BabyLegs and offer support and encouragement.  Each pair of BabyLegs was attached with a short blurb of Darlene's story and thank yous from Team Mama Fox. What an incredibly wonderful and deeply emotional event.  We are so very thankful to have been a part of it.

Upon arriving home after the event I received many thank yous, most via email. Here's just one!  Jennifer from Gig Harbor sent this note and one day later sent another short email with the news that her young co worker had just been diagnosed with breast cancer.  Another person, another reason to stomp out breast cancer. . .

Hello,
I just wanted to say thanks for the "babylegs" we received while walking the 3 day in Everett.

What a sweet loving story about Darlene. I am a 6 year survivor of breast cancer and just a year older than she was. My daughter and I have done the 3 day twice now and just loved it totally. Also climbed Mt Rainier with the Breast Cancer Fund in 2005 as a breast cancer fundraiser too. Thank you so much for your support of breast cancer and the 3Day. What a fun weekend!

Sincerely,

Jennifer & Ashleigh Berlin, Gig Harbor
