Race For The Cure

Julie is a veteran in the Race For The Cure.

Her mom, Katy, is a double breast cancer survivor, and we have walked in the race several times.  This year, it has a bit more meaning.

I am sure most everyone has heard of The Susan G. Komen Foundation.  They are the preeminent non profit for raising awareness about breast cancer and raising money for finding a cure for breast cancer. Interesting side note, Julie's mom actually knew Susan Komen. Small, small world.

The Race For The Cure is on September 11, 2011 at Garden Of The Gods park.  We have created a team, "Oh, The Places You'll Go!" and would welcome anyone who would like to walk with us.  You are also welcome to run in the 5K race.  I don't run. Julie can't run. Our kids don't even like walking, hence the "walk" for the cure. In fact, you can even "sleep in for the cure" if you don't want to, or can't walk. Here is a link our page: Race For The Cure Team Page

We'd be honored if you'd consider joining us! If you'd like to walk with us, click on Join the Oh, The Places You'll Go! Team link on the right hand side.  It will walk you through the registration process.  There is a registration fee (actually a bunch of options), and for the basic adult registration fee of $30, you get into the race, a T-shirt, and a "bib" with our team name on it.  You can also, at your own discretion, make an additional donation to Komen.

Our theme verses will be Philippians 4:12-13, which says "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.  I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all things though Him who gives me strength."

We will be sending updates on details of the race over the next few weeks. So, look for them here and on the team page.
