It Starts With Coffee

I have always loved exercise. Even from a very young age I was active in sports and throughout high school I continued. To this day I try to work out daily and live a healthy lifestyle.

When I was given the opportunity to try out these amazing new Sketchers running shoes to add to my daily rotation of workout shoes as well as spread the word about their help to fight cancer I jumped at the chance!

My motivation for running/walking on a regular basis started with me really loving to be outside especially in the cooler months. It translated into how much it helps your body. Your brain, your heart, everything. Running is not only great for losing weight or staying physically fit it helps you mentally, emotionally every way possible. I love the message of the sketchers campaign to spread the word about breast cancer awareness. My dad is in remission from Lymphoma and while it is not the same thing I like to support all causes of cancer. I like for people to be aware that cancer is more common than ever before and we all need to take the proper precautions against it. As well as that we all need to support and try to help find a cure. You purchasing a pair of these Sketchers shoes is one way to help!

The shoes are not only comfortable, functional, and cute but they are great for exercise and just looking cute with workout clothes to run errands!

I am so beyond proud to be able to help with this campaign that is so near and dear to my heart!

I really encourage you to find out more about my choice of shoes the Sketches GOwalk 2 Flash and also visit the sketchers site and consider purchasing a pair for the cause!

The Skechers Performance Division Awareness footwear line consists of the following shoes and features:

All items in the line feature a soft, heather grey and pale pink color way, as well as the pink breast cancer awareness ribbon.
