32 - Race for the Cure

Today I got my Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure shirt and number. Totally excited about this! The race is on May 7th and it's a 5k, 3.2 miles. I'm walking this year at the request of a friend who was diagnosed with cancer this year. Now that I've committed myself to do this, I'm really excited. I've been reading a lot about the foundation and trying to raise money. I even did my PowerPoint final for school on the Race for the Cure. I truly believe now this is going to be something I have to do annually. I'm becoming passionate about this. Did you know that 1 in 8 people in our lifetime will be diagnosed with breast cancer? I hope everyone is doing what they can to educate themselves so they can either prevent it or catch it before it develops into something that science can't handle. I am thankful to be a part of this race and thankful my friend that was diagnosed is doing well!
