The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure

September 26, 2010

Race for the Cure Finish Line

The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure is coming to Newport Beach on September 26, 2010 and it will be held at Fashion Island in Newport Beach. I participated last year in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, and it was an amazing event. There were over 30,000 participants. The Susan G. Komen Race raises money for breast cancer research and to find a cure.

This year, we have created a team, and the name is: "I Love My Lady Lumps” and you are welcome to join our team. I Love My Lady Lumps is team number 1535. From the link, you can join our team if you like. Click on "join team", then register for the early event at 7:35 am.

Our team will have matching tee shirts. If you join our team, you will get a tee shirt to wear as part of our team.

LadyLumps

This Race for the Cure is for an excellent cause, as it raises money for breast cancer. And the national average is that one in eight women will be diagnosed with it, and in Orange County California, the average is one in seven women.

If you decide that you do not want to run/walk with our team, would you consider donating to the cause?

Hi Judi - yes it is and it is amazing to see how many are impacted by this disease. And its not just women either, a friend's father just got diagnosed with it. I remember last year at this event, there was an 11 year old girl who got diagnosed with it too.

Interesting that we're here in California, but the choices for salutations of the donors don't include Mr. & Mr. or Ms. & Ms.

I'll have Russel stop by and donate on our behalf. He has the credit cards with the big balances on them. LOL

Call a Marana neighbor, I'm THERE!

I love this cause. My daughter recently had her 15th birthday party and decided to advertise on Facebook and to her classmates that she was having a birthday party at a local rollerskating rink and that all money donated would go to the Fund. She had everyone wear pink that was going to show up, asked for donations only, no gifts, and even dyed her hair pink! It was a LOT of fun. The only downside was that Race for the Cure never acknowledged her donation.

Hi Jim - thanks for stopping by and the re-blog - so appreciated!

Sep 14, 2010 06:46 PM

Hi Cara - so nice that your daughter decided to raise money for the cause - perhaps an email to the organization will help them acknowledge it.

Sep 14, 2010 06:47 PM

Hi Endre - we are well with our fund raising. I am so proud of our team. we have 30 members and have raised about $2300 right now. We have two more weeks, and I must say I cannot believe the support of my friends!

Sep 14, 2010 06:49 PM

Hi Jeanean - I ran in it last year my first time and it was incredible. There were 30,000 + people in Newport and everyone wears pink, and supports the cause.
