Race for the Cure!

Today I walked. I walked for my Mom and all the other women who have fought breast cancer. I walked for the women battling it now. I walked for the women who will fight it until there is a cure! I walked for the Susan G. Komen Organization that raises money for all women to afford mammograms. I walked with over 11,000 people. They were battlers, survivors, co-survivors and people who care for the cure! Last year they raised $700,000. This year they raised over one million here in Nashville alone. It was an amazing day and such an amazing thing to be a part of. If this race comes to your town. I highly encourage you to join in and get informed! Next year I will run!

I walked in celebration of my Mom! She is a survivor!

My co-walkers, my dear friends, Heather, Tina, Cathy and Jill

Every 13 minutes a woman dies of breast cancer.

500 men die a year of breast cancer (I had no idea!)

This shirt sums it up, "breast cancer sucks"
So many people are touched by breast cancer. But the thing I hear over and over again is that early detection is the key to saving lives. A mammogram saved my Mom's life. If you have a history in your family of breast cancer you are supposed to start your mammograms at 30. With no history they have started to suggest 35.

I love you Mom! I am sorry you had to go through this but I am proud of you and your strength, and how you relied on the Lord!
