Walk Against Time: One Girl's Journey in the Breast Cancer 3-Day
Angebote / Angebote:
18-year-old Emmy Wells simply can't remember what happened before her aunt died. The hole in her memory led to a suicide attempt and now she is trying to pick up the pieces of her life, attending art school in the mornings and working in the afternoons.But her therapist has an idea that might help. Since Emmy's aunt died of breast cancer, Dr. Jenner encourages her to embark on a new activity: the Avon Breast Cancer 3-Day, a 60 mile walk from San Jose to San Francisco, spread out over three days. Between training for the Walk and raising money to fight breast cancer, Dr. Jenner is certain that the activity will help.The only problem is that Emmy doesn't want to do it-and fights her every step of the way. Snarky, alternately funny and deadly serious, Emmy embarks on her training with fear and anger. She takes the first step in a 1, 000 mile journey, with no idea if-or how-it will turn out.
