Race for the Cure

So Saturday I went and participated in the Susan G. Komen race for the cure. I walked in celebration of our friends Robyn and Roxanne and we also walked in memory of my grandpa and my dear sweet Dani! Although they didn't die from breast cancer they did die from cancer and they were fresh on my mind! I always think to myself when my mom asks me to do this race, do I really want to? And than I remember the flood of emotion that goes through me every time I participate in this walk/run. Every time I have done this I have been brought almost to tears. Everyone wears little signs on their back that show in celebration of or in memory of and every time I see a group of children and a father that have an in memory of our mom I am brought to tears. I feel so good about being involved in this every year and I will continue to be involved and I will also get my husband and boys involved. Its a good cause. I love all the people who come out too... there are the bickers who start the race and than there is a TON of young people who come and I think that is awesome. I also love when you see the first runner come back around and than you see the next 20 to 30 and they are ALL men, I think that is awesome that they are showing their support. And people come up with these wonderful shirts. My favorite for years has been Hiken for Hooters... although there was one this year that gave it a run for its money... It was "Save Second Base" Get it? I think its funny anyway.... If anything else it was an excuse for me to get my sister in laws, my mom, aunt and grandma together and have a fun day and than go out to lunch! All in all I love the experience and while next year I will go... OH no not again... I will remember that I truly do love doing this even if I don't want to!!

Pictures are coming!!
