Every day in October, we’re moving at least one mile for someone in our community who is fighting breast cancer, who beat it, or who we lost. Thirty-one days, thirty-one people, and their stories on the air every weekday morning at 8:45.
It started with one person running. Now there are hundreds of us.
This week
We’re in the final stretch – the last six people of the month, and then we finish together on Friday.
This Friday
Walk the last mile with us
Friday, October 30
8:45am – Meet at the Whatcom Humane Society Thrift Store on Northwest Ave
9:00am – We walk one mile up Northwest Ave
Finish – Mt. Baker Imaging, for their annual walk-in mammogram day
MHS Marching Band, WCC Cheerleaders, special sugar cookies from Slice of Heaven while supplies last, and a few surprises. No registration – just show up. Rain or shine.
The mammogram party
Here’s why the walk ends where it ends. Once a year, Mt. Baker Imaging holds a walk-in mammogram day – and this year it’s October 30, the same morning we finish.
No appointment needed. Walk in anytime between 8:00am and 1:00pm. Patrice will be there from 11:30 to 1:30, and the first 100 people get a goodie bag.
This isn’t a free screening – your insurance gets billed like any other mammogram. What the walk-in day saves you is the appointment. No scheduling, no waiting weeks. Just walk in.
Move a mile with us
Run it, walk it, crawl it. Treadmill, trail, a lap around the block with the dog. Any pace, any time of day. One mile is one mile, and there’s no such thing as too slow.
You don’t need to sign up for anything, and it’s not too late to start. There are still a few days left in October – pick one and go.
Hear their stories
Every dedication airs weekday mornings at 8:45, and every one of them gets archived with the full conversation.
● Every story, all in one place
● Week two
Track your miles with the group
We’ve got a Run 31 group on Strava. Completely optional, purely for fun, and a good way to watch everybody’s miles stack up and cheer each other on.

Shirts
If you requested a pink Run 31 shirt when you signed up, it’s waiting for you. Pick it up at the station during regular office hours, roughly 7:30 to 5, at 2219 Yew Street Road in Bellingham – or grab it at the finale walk on the 30th.
Any shirts still unclaimed by the 30th go to other walkers that morning. So come get yours.
Already have yours? Wear it on the 30th. We want a sea of pink heading up Northwest Ave.
And a pair of shoes on the line
Everyone who signed up to move a mile is in the running for a pair of Topo running shoes, donated by the fine folks at Fairhaven Runners. We’ll draw the winner at the finale on October 30.
With thanks to
