Race for the Cure

The annual Susan B. Komen Race for the Cure took place in Raleigh this morning - and I got to be a part of this wonderful event!  I have wanted to participate in a breast cancer walk for quite some time now, and I'm so glad I was able to. 

My sister, whose Wrigley's team was walking the Recreational Open 5K, invited me to tag along.  I even got my own Wrigley t-shirt to don during the event.  

The folks who I saw support this cause were an inspiration.  Every one of them was happy to be there.  Breast cancer survivors wore special shirts so that the rest of us could be reminded why we were doing this walk/race.  Every one of us was cheered on until the finish line - even those of us who strolled along lazily in the summer heat, and those of us who have never come close to dealing with the challenges that the survivors have overcome.
