The date was set. After meeting and greeting with my new Angel Sisters at our local mall I was given the date of October 15 and the place was Belle Isle. I was excited to be a part of a fan club, this fan club. I had never joined a fan club before and didn’t expect much maybe an autographed picture at the most but I got so much more. This is something that I was not used to. Being from the hood in Detroit, MI I was never exposed to giving back and never knew that events or real people that did such things existed. I was excited as I explained the mission to my kids, they asked me how I was supposed to be walking and my disability (MS) wouldn’t allow me to walk the entire 5 miles. But I was determined to at least attempt to walk far as I could. I was brimming with excitement about the upcoming mission. So October 15th came it was cold, dark and rainy but I didn’t let that stop me from going to do what I set in my heart to do. Since we had to meet at 7 am I left my house at 5 am. It would take a little time and 2 buses to get there. As I arrived at our designated place to meet I called my Angel Sister Narquita to make sure I was in the right place because I didn’t see anybody. I had so many emotions in me I didn’t know what to do. “We are all here just come around the corner” she replied. I walked around the corner not knowing what to expect and saw so many supporters of the Breast Cancer. I saw so many Treys Angels in attendance I was excited. We boarded the bus, got to Belle Isle and registered. When the walk started we took off with a vengeance. There was so much love in the air, a lot of togetherness from everywhere. I spoke with Angels that I had met on Twitter in the weeks that led up to the mission. As we walked and talked I enjoyed the conversations that I was having with different people. It was surreal feeling of accomplishment that was unexplainable. I met Connie as I was walking and realized that she was the one that I had been bonding with on Twitter recently. I walked 3 miles that day hadn’t walked that far in years and I was proud of what I accomplished. Afterwards we went to breakfast and bonded more. When we left the restaurant everyone hugged and promised to see everyone at the next mission. It seemed like a dream to me for something like this to happen but it gave me hope for the future. Now I look forward to doing missions and giving back now more than ever. This isn't a fan club this my family.
