 Pinellas County, Florida - Among the people making noise cheering and in the long- pink parade of walkers there are many stories. And Teresa Lennon's is under her hat.

 

 

"Nothing, a little bit of fuzz," she says doffing a pink straw cowboy hat.

 

 

The Palm Harbor mom discovered a lump last February, had a double mastectomy in April and she's still undergoing radiation. Yet Lennon has found the strength to walk 60 miles in the Breast Cancer 3-Day.

 

 

"It's important to bring a lot of attention to this...and I wanted to be a part of something bigger than something I could ever do myself," she says.

 

 

Lennon says of course, along with shedding her long-dark hair, she's shed a few tears. But along with the 1,500 others on this 3-Day journey, she's determined to make a difference; one step at a time.

 

 

"It's going great-a little tired-but it's all good.
