One tip, be sure you get in the right line or you'll get some mean looks. I participated in it right after I was diagnosed. They had all the survivors get together before the walk. I didn't notice that there were sections divided into how many years you were a survivor. I accidentally got in the 30 years and more survivor section and was quickly told by some old gal that I need to go back down with the "babies" where I belonged..LOL. I thought it was funny but I will make dang sure I don't make the same mistake again...sherry
