The Involve committee at work set up a team to run/walk The Race for the Cure. If we would have had the cute papers that said "In Celebration Of...", mine would have said "In Celebration Of My Grandma Mary and Starlie Squires". Obviously my Grandma (my moms mom) and one of my best friends, Nicole's mom is Starlie. I am so thankful that they are survivors!!! I don't know Starlie very well, but have heard stories from Nicole who loves her mother so much!! My Grandma Mary thankfully caught her cancer early and only went through radiation and didn't have to go through chemo. I pray that there is a cure SOON!
At the start getting ready for our 5K walk.

Some of the people were totally dressed up. These guys were pretty funny. I liked their tutu's.
It was sad to see the groups that were walking "In memory of" rather than "In celebration of" especially like those above who had lost a loved one in the past month or so. God bless those families!
I'm so glad that my mom was there to walk with me. We were saying how everyone probably knows someone with Breast Cancer or at least someone affected by it. I am glad that I was able to help even if it was just the small contribution to walk. It was a great walk with my mom!
There were SO MANY people there to support this event!
Avrie, this picture is for you! My mom told me I needed a picture with The Utah Grizzlies (hockey) bear to show Avrie how brave I am.
We finally ran into some other KPMG walkers almost at the finish. Megan and Kristine with their moms and babies.
Here we are at the finish. There were so many people there!
The End!

Nicki, thanks for getting me involved. It was a great day for a great cause. I hope they make tremendous progress! It was neat to see so many people involved and supporting the survivors and families and remembering those not so lucky. It was a very positive experience. Thanks again and thanks for caring about so many people and doing something about it! I really appreciate you!! And I'm really grateful that my Mom is a survivor!! Way to go Mom!! I love you!!
