Race for the Cure

Race for the Cure is something that my mom and I have done every year since I was in college in Fayetteville. It is quite an amazing event, and always has a tear-jerking turnout to support this cause.

Jerry had a golf tournament at the same time as the walk, so Mom and I ventured out with the two little ones in tow. Anniston had a "racing shirt" as she called it. We decided that 3.1 miles with 55 pounds of children in a 30 pound stroller equaled a very good workout. The kids did great. Anniston did have to go potty 2/3 way through the race. That was fun letting her pop a squat behind a shed that a policeman directed us towards! ha!! As Mom and I were walking, she figured out that my grandmother (my mom's mom) has been breast cancer free for 43 years! Isn't that amazing!! We also walked in celebration of Jane, Sudean, Kay, and Janie.

Afterwards, we walked around and got all of the fun little treats that the vendors have there. If you've never walked in this race before, don't miss it next year. It will be even bigger then, and it's a wonderful cause.
