Yesterday, my motley band of five joined 17,000 others and did the Susan Komen 5 K Cancer Run (and walk). What a sight it was to see both decks of the viaduct filled with people all there to raise money and awareness for breast cancer detection and research.
Tracy, a dear, dear friend, is about 70% through her chemo right now. She’s had a very rough time of it and this is her second bout. I want her around for a very long time. I walked for her yesterday. And for our friend Adreinne’s mother who passed last year. And for our friend Karen who is a survivor and in remission. And for the millions of women just like them all over the world. It was a good thing.
