Race for the Cure

This weekend I ran in the Susan G Komen's Race for the Cure in Ft Worth, TX along with 18,500 others. We raced for hope, for healing and for a cure.




A survivor accepts God's mercy.
A survivor battled hardship.
A survivor celebrates life.
A survivor has passion.
A survivor perseveres.
A survivor carries on.
A survivor is strong.
A survivor has hope.
A survivor is brave.
A survivor grows.
A survivor prays.
A survivor heals.
A survivor lives.

Aimee,

Thanks for the picture. I am so proud of everyone who participated in this race in honor of Gaye. What a wonderful tribute to a wonderful lady who will win the fight!! I am so sorry that I couldn't be there but we thought we would be out of town this past weekend. I have been there and I know every thought that every breast cancer survivor thinks. I wish I had signed up for the race but by the time we decided to stay home this past weekend, it was too late!
Love to all of you who did the race.

Awesome!!!

My wife and I have run in the Race for the Cure the last four or five years. It never ceases to move us when we finish and see all the women in pink shirts.
