This weekend was a very busy weekend for us. We participated in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on Saturday morning. This is the second year in a row Justin and I have participated in this race. It is very close to our hearts. My Aunt Jane passed away five years ago from a fight with breast cancer, and Justin's mom is a breast cancer survivor. Participating in the race is our way of honoring both of them.
My cousin Paula heads up the team and does a magnificant job. She puts a lot of time and effort into being team captain. This year we had awesome T-shirts that she designed....and they won the t-shirt competition!!
If anyone is interested in participating next year please let me know. You don't have to walk, you can be a member of our team and just raise money for a cure. Or you can be a member, raise money and do the walk. Participating in the walk is one of the most encouraging and rewarding things I have ever done. Plus, 3 miles is really not bad.
After the race we hurried home, Justin went to his best friend Jesse's little girl's (Isabella) birthday party. I was exhausted so I stayed home and rested...but I did enjoy picking out all of her little birthday presents. Shopping for little girls is so much fun!
So that was our busy weekend. Below I have put some pictures from the walk. Over 24,000 people participated this year....that's amazing.
Cancer Sucks.
