2005 Race for the Cure - Support me if you can
 

As many of you know, I battled breast cancer last year. I was luckier than most and caught it early and have fully recovered. As A Cancer Survivor, I am participating in the 2005 Race for the Cure on September 25th. If you would like to support me and make a donation to the cause, you may do so at this site:

Thank you in advance for your support.

Actually I did not know that. I'm very glad you are doing well. I'd expect it's due to the healing powers of Dole Whip’s!

Your request also brings up an interesting point. How are other worthy charities doing in the wake of Katrina? I know that Jerry's kids received about $5,000,000 less than last year. Are others feeling the squeeze?

I don't know if I've read anything about that in regards to the Koeman foundation. Kartina is certainly a more urgent need - breast cancer will continue to plague men and women for a long time, I'm sure. You just do what you can.

This is my way of giving back to the disease that effected me personally. Both my Mother and I had it and, thanks to early detection, mine was caught VERY early and therefore my treatment was fairly mild (no chemo required, only radiation and surgery). I'm all about early detection.

No, no, no. This is your way of taking away from the disease that affected you personally.

Wow! Naturally, I had no idea, and I am so glad you are a full recovery patient!

:cheers: to you for giving back!

I'll be there too. In addition to the many survivors I work with, I will walk in honor of my sister-in-law!

I support breast cancer!!

Wait...

Hey! That's me! ;)

Cool. I think your Bro might walk as well.

Everyone's support has be great so far. I've never actually participated in a walk that was for something that effected me so personally. It's pretty meaningful and wonderful that friends are helping out. So cool!

Thanks to all of you who have pledged so far. I am walking this weekend whether my feet want me to or not.

We did the Race on Sunday.....after about three hours of sleep. :D My step-mom and my mother-in-law did the walk as they always do. Both are survivors.

I think we had something like 40,000 participants? I didn't watch the news that night, and I forgot to check Monday's paper. Portland's Race has been the largest on the west coast. And it is a beautiful day every year. Truly a wonderful experience.....the whole city goes WAY out for it.

We were in NYC for their Race last year in Central Park. I've never seen so much pink in my life.

Good luck and enjoy, Lisa. It's sure to mean SO much to you. It always does to me.
