So I did the cancer walk today. What a beautiful day to do it. Walked with some of my old coworkers and found out one of my former coworkers has cancer.
It is stage 3 which is never good, but he is good spirited about it and has shaved his head in response to the chemo. One of my walking partners is a cancer survivor and is still getting chemo - she outpaced us most of the race. :)
I ran to the finish line and it felt so good. And sad. In the last two years I have lost an aunt and friend to cancer. I have 3 friends who are in the midst of battling it. I have had two grandmothers, 4 aunts, and a cousin all have some form of cancer. Just makes me sad.
What makes me happy is all the people who were walking and running. My group alone raised a ton of cash. We have decided to run together every year til we don't have too.
So that is my new goal. I am going to run not walk for my friends w/cancer.
Let us just hope my tin ankle can make it. :)

Caprise: Cancer is a horrible thing, but beautiful things can happen because of it, like your efforts with your friends to raise money for research. That's what we need in our world!
