Who Are the Warming Hut Hotties? 

 

Are You A Hottie?

Each weekend remarkable people come out and train... all different ages, shapes, sizes, backgrounds and reasons for walking in a breast cancer fundraising event. It feels, however, like we are kindred spirits.

All are welcome... come on out & walk with us this weekend. Or, jump on in and join our team right now! We are always looking for new recruits who are just getting in touch with their inner hottie-ness. Once a hottie, always a hottie! It’s a state of mind, spirit and heart not a physical attribute.

Some of us may have nothing in common but the walk and our desire to see an end to breast cancer as a life threatening disease. Maybe we never would have crossed paths had it not been for hauling ourselves out of bed early on the weekends to hit the pavement.... maybe by this meeting we can learn about how to be more compassionate with ourselves and how to be more compassionate with other people. It is for these reasons the following is our team's quote...

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not possible born until they arrive and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born. - Anais Nin

In 2003 Linda Imlay had committed to walk three Avon Walk for Breast Cancer events in San Francisco, Portland and Los Angeles. To keep to her training plan she signed up to lead training walks. Linda’s first walk met in March and six people showed up.  Within a few weeks there were 20-30 people at each training walk. 

The Warming Hut Hotties team was born out of the group of women and men who met to train together on the weekends in the spring and early summer of that year. The training walks met at the Warming Hut at the newly refurbished Crissy Field in the Presidio in San Francisco. The location was selected because of the ample parking and access to coffee and snacks after the walks.

In May of 2003 it was announced that the Breast Cancer 3 Day would be taking place in November of that year so the team kept walking. With many of the Avon walkers also registered for the 3 Day walk, the Warming Hut Hottie Team had 86 walkers who raised $216,113.

Six years later we continue to have teams in multiple events, lead training walks six months each year, cheer for events in other cities, foster a supportive community and fundraise.

Since 2003 this team of ordinary women & men have collectively raised over $2 million for the breast cancer cause.

The Warming Hut Hottie team welcomes everyone to be a part of our community. Some people have participated every year; some walk or crew one time. We have shared countless miles, conversations, laughter and tears together. We have shared life successes, challenges, achievements and tragedies.

We treat one another in the way we wish the rest of the world could: with tremendous kindness & gratitude. Our spirit is backed with compassion and a deep respect for each person who becomes a hottie team member. Once a hottie, always a hottie!

We believe a long walk with friends can change your outlook.

We believe in hills; and walking up them.

We believe in inspirational quotes.

We believe in cheering and wooohooooing!

We believe in deeleeboppers.

We believe in the credo: no whining.

We believe in kindness and gratitude.

We believe in a world without breast cancer In Our Lifetime.
