3 Day for the Cure walk starts today: Meet Team Tracy’s namesake

| Health | West Seattle news | West Seattle people

As the Seattle-area Susan Komen 3 Day for the Cure walk starts this morning, thanks to Glen Syvertsen for sharing that new video featuring Tracy Dart, the breast-cancer survivor who is namesake for West Seattle’s best-known 3 Day team, Team Tracy, with narration by Tom Hutyler, best known as the Safeco Field “Voice of the Mariners.” (Tom and Glen are both West Seattleites too.) Team Tracy did make the $40,000 fundraising goal mentioned in the video, by the way, and as Tracy mentions on her website, she’s carrying the “Courage” banner in the Survivors’ Circle. Team Tracy members and hundreds of others will leave Redmond this morning on an east/north route, concluding at Memorial Stadium downtown on Sunday. If you’d like to cheer the walkers along the way, “cheering stations” are listed on the 3 Day website. Good luck to all the walkers!

Way to go, Tracy! Without being condescending – we are so proud of you and your determination. You set the bar incredibly high, and completely cleared it. Can’t wait to see what’s next on your agenda.

What a great video (especially her infectious smile and laughter) I love this girl SO much! Tracy, we’re cheering you (and all the other walkers) on as you continue this awesome journey. I vow to get back out there and walk with you again, too. Fight like a girl, and never give up!

Her inner beauty shines more brightly with her laughter, her smile and especially her unselfish gift of helping others.

Thank you all for the support over the past 3 days. We all made it back – limping a little and a little sore…but we did it! Congrats to fellow West Seattlite Ann – and all the other folks from West Seattle we met out on the road. And just an update…Team Tracy got to $42,300 as of Friday morning at the start of the walk. Thank you West Seattle for helping us reach our fundraising goals!

Sorry, comment time is over.
