Last Saturday, May 9, 2009, My family and my Mom and Dad participated in the Race for the Cure in Salt Lake City. It was an amazing experience to be a part of something so huge and so meaningful. I was touched by the sea of people that were there. There were people of all shapes, sizes and ages. It was awesome! Most people wore a paper on their back that either said, "In Memory of ...." or "In Celebration of ...." I even saw a sign that said, "In Memory of My Dad" I couldn't believe it. This is a disease that strikes anybody at anytime. My childhood friend was diagnosed with Breast Cancer at age 34 while 5 months pregnant with her son. She and her son are doing well and I am in awe of her and all who fight this disease. They are so brave. It was a special day to spend together doing something so worthwhile. It is something my family and I will always remember and are already looking forward to participating next year.
