Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Walk 2010

I know, I know. It has been FOREVER since I have made a decent post to this blog. I'm sorry. I have decided that instead of trying to go back and post everything that has happened in the last few months, I will start fresh and pick up like I never left off.

So on with the show.

This past Saturday was the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Walk. Aunt Colleen took the initiative and set up a team in celebration of my mom who is currently undergoing chemo treatments (today is her last one by the way)! A big thanks to Aunt Colleen for all of her hard work. She had to make several trips and calls and emails to get everything organized and off the ground. We really appreciate that. Our team name was Jugs for Judy!

So we all went over on Saturday morning. The race started at 9:00. Obviously none of us were set to win this thing so we didn't plan to get there until about 8:30. We had a great turnout for our team and the race itself hit record highs for attendance.

Everybody that came raced except for me and moma. Even all of the kids. We hung back and enjoyed all of the food and entertainment they had to offer. The first ones to finish for our team was Barrett and Elena. They swear they didn't cheat but they came in about 45 minutes before the rest of our team. Barrett says the other guys were moving pretty slow trying to stay together and he and Elena ran or jogged just about the whole way. I will give them benefit of the doubt because Elena did come back dripping with sweat. Everyone else slowly started trickling in after them.

This was a great day for this. The weather was beautiful. I love that everyone came together to run in celebration for those who are fighting this disease, for those who have won the battle, and for those we have lost to it.
