There's Gay Pride, Pride o' the Irish and *hottie* pride!
Some notes from your walk leaders:
Saturday Walkers, how are your feet this morning??!! :) Congratulations to the 54 folks who walked to Tiburon on Saturday. What an amazing day! The weather could not have been more lovely, the route support more helpful and the walkers more kick-(butt)! You guys booked into Tiburon at an amazing pace -- I don't think we've ever had such a fast group. It show that all that hard work, training, andmiles logged have paid off. I was so happy to see so many accomplished proud faces on the ferry that day. Pride weekend, indeed! Sarah
Sunday Walkers, you are fantastico! Thank you for your patience about the starting place. We started with a group of us at the Sports Basement. It wasn't until I got a call from 9 walkers waiting at the Warming Hut, who by the way had parked and walked in, did I realize that the group was much bigger. Not to hold up the first group, Sarah left with them (thank you, Sarah, for taking the lead!!!!!) and I waited for the others to arrive, did the safety speech, and off we went.
It was a really beautiful day. Although the first group had to make some adjustments with the last part of the route because of the marathon, by the time the second group arrived, we had the thrill of walking up Lincoln and Kobe!! I hope everyone enjoyed the walk. For those of you who left early, thank you for taking such good care of yourselves. I hope to see some of you this Saturday and the Hottie Stalkers will be at Opening Ceremonies. I look forward to seeing you all on your Event. Thank you for walking, and raising funds and awareness. Andrea
The hottie team's fundraising keeps growing and growing! We're at $109,239.45!!!
The final walk before the event!

Walkin' Like You Mean It
Hooray for the 33 Hotties that showed up this weekend to take on the hills and dales of San Francisco! We are so proud of all of you and it's so exciting to see everyone really be "ready" to walk. You all are in great shape, great spirits and have that great Hottie spirit pulsing through your veins. BRING IT ON!
Love and thanks to Phil for getting us up that last of four hills on Saturday..."Rocky" is always there just when you really need it.
And our lovely little group of 8 on Sunday enjoyed a completely different day filled with sunshine, "beautiful vistas" along Land's End, and swapped many stories.
MAKE PLANS NOW FOR THAT 18 MILE WALK ON SATURDAY! It's the last chance to walk to Tiburon...a close approximation to the actual walk but with a deluxe ferry ride at the end. We'll meet at the Fort Mason Parking Lot at 6AM (not the Warming Hut).
And 12 miles on Sunday (7am), back at The Warming Hut.Please RSVP! It helps us plan.
We're so thrilled to be a part of your training, and so amazed at how far all of us have come. We're almost there! Thanks so much for helping the miles fly by.Have a great week.
Warmly, Sarah and Andrea, for The Hotties

Woooooohoooooo *hotties*
A huge congratulations to everyone who came out for the WRW. Whether you walked 5 miles or all 39 you should feel very proud! Like they say, "Half the battle is just showing up!" Now you know when your energy flags or you reach your limit the group will support you every step of the way. Thank you to each of you for bringing your energy and compassion to the group - you all make the walk experience that much more meaningful. I hope you got a sense of the wonderful community of walkers to which you belong. Continue to stretch, hydrate, Advil and ice anything that is more that sore. Rest up this week... you deserve it!

Notes from your Walk Leaders:
From Sarah: We started out 54 strong on a shivery Saturday morning, nervously wondering how Day 1 of our WRW with its long mileage would go. By the time we crested Tank Hill we were confident that we are ready to go! Hooray for all of you! Special props to Charles who came all the wayfrom Concord as a solo guy walker but emerged with true Hottie spirit. And kudos to Linda, Sandy and our wonderful Phil for supporting us through the morning with yummy snacks, water and Gatorade. You walkers were AWESOME!
From Meg: What a fabulous job all of the second loop walkers did on Saturday! We had great spirit walking the 18, 20 and 26 miles! A special pat on the back to the many lovely walkers for whom Saturday was their first training walk - what a first it was! And a double pat on the back to the 16 of you who walked the entire 26 miles and came back down to the Warming Hut hooting and hollering! A special thank you to new hottie Carol who took on the role of training walk leader for the 20 mile group! Thanks to everyone for such warm and wonderful smiles for all of the miles! From Andrea: "We had 32 people on Sunday and it was beautiful. Everyone did really well and there was great cheering each other up the hills (and there really are some challenging hills coming back from Sausalito). But all of you - walkers who were out with us yesterday, the three brand new walkers who just recently registered for the walk, and all the rest of us - we did it!!!! Thank you, Eric for being there for us.
The hottie team has raised a whopping $81,856.45 to date! Keep up the amazing work! Send out an email to everyone letting them know you just did the WRW... and the event is 3 weeks away... I bet you'll be surprised that you get more donations.
ACTION ITEM! Deadline for hottie team tening is Tuesday, June 12th
The deadline was extended.Why join the hottie team? To show our colors on event (we have a lot of special hottie spirit on event), to have a community within the greater walk community on event weekend (tenting together), to compound your fundraising dollars - last year the hotties raised almost $115,000. Don't be shy, take the leap! Remember it's not a physical attribute, it's state of mind, spirit and heart. Once a hottie, always a hottie! To join the legion of worldwide hotties email Sarah, the teams coordinator, at teams.sanfrancisco@avonwalk.org and ask to be added to the team. Yes, it is that easy.
Then, email Lynn Nelson lunartiger27@yahoo.com to be included in the hottie tent section in camp Let her know your name, your tentmate's name or if you need a tentmate (we'll fix you up!)
