About Us > Our "3Day Sammy"

Samantha, a close friend of several VeroTek staff made the decision last year to participate in the 'Susan B. Komen' 3Day Walk to fight Breast Cancer.

That's an important cause and a very impressive commitment. VeroTek figured, if Sammy would make that commitment, VeroTek would help with the money and getting other people to also contribute.

Well, she made it! :) :) and, we're all very proud of her. This is her letter back to us afterwards.

Hi, Gang !

Well, the 3Day Walk is over, and we made it!

What an incredible experience in a thousand ways. All the way from a walk of personal discovery, to one of meeting new friends and mostly hearing the stories of people that had lost or nearly lost loved ones to breast cancer.

This picture is a shot of us all gathered at the start early the first morning of the race.

The first big "hill" as we slug our way out of Del Mar. The weather stayed nice and overcast all three days, which helped a lot

Hard to decide which part of the Walk was the most inspiring? Was the stories of lost loved ones, or was it seeing all the people out along the way cheering us and breast cancer survivors on?

Here we are celebrating the end of Day 1. It was our first experience with this kind of camp, and the organizers did a great job.

All along the way, tons of people were out to cheer us on. Every type of costume, horn, decorated van and blaring stereo.

Here's my friend and walking teammate outside our "campground"

Here's yours truly hanging out in the tent. Closest thing to a glamour shot that we got J

And man was the ground ever soft, although after a day of walking, I'm not sure I noticed.

Well, we did it !!

I want to "Thank" all of you for sponsoring me to do this. It was very important to me, and an incredible experience.

Thank You
Samantha
