This year was the first year that I have ever participated in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. I have wanted to in the past but didn't have a team to join. This year I had to opportunity to join our friends, the Mason's, on their Mason Music Studios team.
Brantley and her friend, Alice, got to ride in the double stroller during the race and for the most part they did pretty good.
I was so amazed at how many people were there to support research for a cure for breast cancer. It made me tear up a little okay a lot, as I realized just how many people/families this terrible disease has hurt. And then it made me tear up with joy to see so many PINK survivor shirts being worn proudly by the ladies who have beat this disease, as they paraded around the streets of downtown Birmingham. It was truly touching and I will never forget that!
As long as we kept drinks or snacks in their hands they were okay but if they ran out or the sun got in their eyes, they weren't all that happy. Troopers!!
Sarah heard that their were something like 16,000 people signed up to run/walk in the race! That's wonderful!! I don't doubt that number at all. Do you see all that sea of people out in front or us?! AMAZING!!
I'm so glad I was able to participate this year and I hope to do it over and over again in the years to come. Next time I will wear a pink sign on my back in memory of Chase's mom, Donna Williamson.
