L-R: Clementine Ryan, 5, and her sister Flannery, 3, choose beads at a booth on 2742 60th Av. SW between Tully's on Alki and SW Stevens St. operated by Desiree Holweger, standing. The West Seattle resident is raising money for Septembers 3-Day for the Cure walk.
The 2011 Seattle Susan G. Komen "3-Day for the Cure" will take place September 16 - 18, 2011. Alki residents Desiree Holweger and her mother, Ruthie, set up a booth today at 2742 60th Av. SW, between Tully's and SW Stevens St. that will re-open tomorrow, Tuesday, at noon and remain open throughout the day, if it does not rain. They are raising money for "Team-Tracy", the group of 3-Dayer's led by cancer survivor and Alki resident Tracy Dart. At the booth they are selling baked goods and bead work.
This will be Desiree's second year walking for Team-Tracy. You may recognize Desiree as a Tully's barista on Alki and 60th St.
"Participating last year was a life-changer for me," enthused Desiree. "I got to meet a lot of cool people and I plan to be a 'lifer', someone who does the walk every year for life."
