Race for The Cure
Today, we all got up early, so that we could participate in 10th annual Race for the Cure. This is not only a Reno event, but all over the nation to help in the fight against Breast Cancer.
We joined up on the Wal-Mart Pharmacy team that our good friend Rachel Conforti started. Our team raised over $3,000 and thanks to the generosity of my friends and family I was able to raise $250.
It was an amazing experience to be surround by 6,000 people many of which were survivors of Breast Cancer or walking in honor or memory of someone they have lost to the disease. One of the more heartbreaking moments was two young girls who were walking in memory of their mommy. Char and I walked in honor of her good friend Mary who is currently battling Breast Cancer.
One of the greatest parts was all the different teams and their name. There were teams such as the 'Legal Titty Committee', 'The Melon Mafia', 'Save Second Base', and just simply 'I heart boobs' which had many men (shocking) wearing pink shirts.
Simply said it was an amazing experience and we can't wait to participate again next year!!!
