Race for the Cure


Along with about 39,000 other people, Mommy and Cara walked in the 5K Race for the Cure today on the Joggers for Jana team. Jana is a nurse that works with Mommy who is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer, so a bunch of nurses from work joined together for her team. It was PERFECT weather today, sunny and mid 60's during the event.
It was very emotional, especially at the beginning when the crowds of people were waiting to start. Every now and then you would see a participant wearing a pink shirt/hat signified that they were a breast cancer survivor. We were very proud to participate in this event! How many 8 month olds finish a 5K??
My heart goes out to all those affected by breast cancer!

So sorry to hear about your friend Jana. I know she has a long road ahead of her, but I am sure it helps to have coworkers and friends like you guys. Good job to you all on the race.

My thoughts and prayers are with Jana and her family.

Looks like Jana has the support of good friends to help her battle her fight against cancer. Our prayers will be for a speedy recovery for her.
