Nearly
2,000
of
us
gathered
at
the
foot
of
the
Washington
Monument
on
an
early
May
morning. We were waiting for the opening ceremony of the 2017 Avon Walk for Breast Cancer to
16
.
A woman passed by and
17
me. 鈥淗i, I鈥檓 Mary. Who are you walking for?鈥?nbsp;she asked,
smiling.
鈥淢y
18
Leslie,鈥?nbsp;I said, 鈥?nbsp;Who was diagnosed with breast cancer about 10 years ago.鈥?/p>
As I started to
19
, I thought about how lucky I was that Leslie and I were
20
as
college
roommates
more
than
30
years
ago.
In
our
freshman
year,
Leslie
and
I
often
played
backgammon (
瑗挎磱鍙岃矾妫?/p>
). We got to
21
each other over those games, taking turns asking
questions about our families, our friends back home, and our
22
and dislike.
Once after an accident, I began to
23
. 鈥淚 need
a doctor, but I think the student health
center is
24
at 6,鈥?nbsp;I sobbed to Leslie, holding up my injured finger.
鈥淐ome on,鈥?nbsp;Leslie said, taking
25
. 鈥淭here鈥檚 a hospital three blocks down the street that
I pass every day on my way to class. We can wal
k.鈥?/p>
To distract me from the pain as we walked, Leslie suggested we tell jokes. I was
26
right
away at the hospital,
27
Leslie and I continued to make each other
28
. This kind of
warmth could be experienced throughout our friendship.
In 2006,
Leslie was diagnosed with breast cancer. So I
29
in my first Avon
Walk in
2010 to
30
Leslie in some way, as she helped me so many times since the night I
31
my
finger in the door.
Leslie

in
2012,
a
few
weeks
before
my
third
Avon
Walk
and
just
shy
off
her
46
th
birthday.
I
33
to take part in the Avon Walk every year, despite the unwelcome bond I now have,
with
the
other
walkers
who
also
have
34
someone
they
loved,
because
when
I
walk
I

my favorite moments with Leslie.
