Race for the Cure 2010

September 26th, 2010
This was the first year that I would walk in the
Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure
The girls I work with have a team called "Breast Friends"
They were recruiting others by offering to pay the registration fee for that person
I won the contest
They presented me with a pink boa to wear during the race.

My number


Susan G. Komen fought breast cancer with her heart, body and soul. Throughout her diagnosis, treatments, and endless days in the hospital, she spent her time thinking of ways to make life better for other women battling breast cancer instead of worrying about her own situation. That concern for others continued even as Susan neared the end of her fight. Moved by Susan’s compassion for others and committed to making a difference, Nancy G. Brinker promised her sister that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever.


That promise is now Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, the global leader of the breast cancer movement, having invested nearly $1.5 billion since inception in 1982. As the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists, we’re working together to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure®, and generous contributions from our partners, sponsors and fellow supporters, we have become the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.

Women agonize over cancer; we take as a personal threat the lump in every friend's breast. ~Martha Weinman Lear, Heartsounds

Do not be afraid of tomorrow; for God is already there.

Remember, we all stumble, every one of us. That's why it's a comfort to go hand in hand. ~Emily Kimbrough

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. ~Eleanor Roosevelt
