During Golden Week break, I also did a training walk in Yokohama with fellow Japan for Livestrong leader Toshiaki-san as we prepare for a Livestrong Day walk event next month in June in honor and memory of those affected by cancer. Nippon Maru -> Kishamichi -> Red Bricks -> Ohjimbashi Pier -> Yamashita Park -> Chinatown. Grateful! GO TEAM!

Training Walk (Tsukiji -> NCC -> Hama-rikyu Gardens)

After stopping by St. Luke's International University, I did a training walk from Tsukiji to Hama-rikyu Gardens. On the way, I passed by the National Cancer Center where I had cancer treatment twice and I still go for follow-up checkups given my blood cancer type is hard to cure. Hama-rikyu Gardens are always beautiful and peaceful! Grateful! GO TEAM!

Walked throughout Inokashira Park in Kichijoji. Did the walk with friend John. We all are affected by cancer in some way. Still early but we found some blooming flowers at that park. :)
