Race for the CURE!

Oh my heck, what a blast we had today!!  I'm just going to post a few pictures because it's late.  Channel 4 News interviewed me today and I was on their story at 10 p.m. about the race!  They showed me twice!  If I can get the video link for it, I'll post it here.  : )

My awesome family, my sister Mel, and my friend Esther.  A good looking group!

At the starting line, isn't that amazing!
This is Reese, I met her a couple of months ago at a Young Survivor Sister meeting.  She is 29 years old and a fighter!  She is amazing.

This is Whitney, I met her at a Young Survivor Sister lunch a while back.  She is awesome too, I've met so many great people through all of this!

This is another great lady, Pilar ("Pea-lahr", I don't know how to spell her name).  I met her at the Cancer Wellness House.  Her daughter goes to Mat's school, so there was an instant connection!  : )

There was an ocean of people in the plaza watching the Survivor Parade.  So cool!


This was very touching--the survivors parade. I've done the race a couple of times before but never had a reason to stay for this. All of the survivors paraded in through the crowd and up to the steps behind the Gateway.



My awesome family, my sister Mel, my friend Esther and her sister Mish.  Mat and all the kids came and did the race with me.  Maddie and Isaac walked the whole thing, Mel carried Brooklyn the last two miles, and I ran about the last 1 1/2 to 2 miles.  It made me so happy!

Kim, I had no idea you were doing this race - that is more than awesome!! I'm so proud of you and your family and all that you do to pull together. It sounds like you have met wonderful and amazing people through this time. What a beautiful sight all those pink shirts are in the parade of survivors. Way to go!!
