"It was like a day of work, only we walked," McGrath says.

Sometimes, they trained together. One very hot August day they walked 12 miles, McGrath says. But because of the distance between their homes, they usually walked separately. No matter how tired they might get, they never thought of quitting. "It wasn't about us," says Boris, who walked to honor a cousin and two friends who have breast cancer and a childhood friend who died from the disease.

McGrath walked to honor two aunts who have survived the disease. Walk FROM PAGE Fl "When I sent my letter (asking for donations), I said I went out to dinner with my girlfriend the other day and she asked me if I wanted to go for a walk. I said yes. Little did I know it was a 60-mile walk!" Boris says, laughing.

It was something that made me believe all women are sisters," McGrath says. The walk men and women took part was on a scenic coastal route in San Diego, she says. "We'd walk through residential areas, and people would come out of their homes and say, 'Thank and offer us juice and cookies," McGrath says. "The camaraderie and you see these women on the side of the road with no hair on their heads," Boris says of cancer patients who came out to support walkers. "How can you not do it? It was emotional, to see people standing there." Hundreds of volunteers formed a support crew, providing food and medical care for the walkers, who didn't bring anything but necessities with them to the walk and slept in tents they had to pitch and take down themselves.

The walkers paid for their own air fare and for a hotel room for the night before the walk began, Boris says. "It was just incredible," she says. "I never thought I could so something like this, and I did it, and I did it with the best friend I have. I'd do it again in a heartbeat."

They had no time to notice the small wonders of the world, the unexpected beauty found in the mundane. I vowed I wouldn't let that happen to me. I'd never live just to pay bills. I'd never stop noticing how trees bend in a storm as though dancing, how train whistles sing of faraway places, how a child's laughter sounds like chimes in the wind. Ah, but I'm human.

Life caught me like a fly in its spider's web, too. There I've been, so busy concentrating on responsibilities that all else vanishes. I don't want to breeze past a friend just because the world is spinning faster, twirling worries and anxiety in its path like dust balls skittering down the road of life. I'm going to keep that long-ago promise, starting right now. After all, the time is always right to see the magic in life.

We just kept plugging along.

It's not a commitment to get in shape, lose weight, whatever. The long-term commitment is awareness of breast cancer and to get those 60 miles. We signed up for it and promised to talk to people about breast cancer." But family and friends praise their involvement. "She has so-much dedication. She didn't miss a day of walking," says McGrath's daughter, Torrey, 23, of Toms River.
