This morning, at the Lake Charles Civic Center people gathered to participate in the Ethel Precht Hope Breast Cancer 3K. This event is also a "pet friendly" walk/run run. I got a quick shot of this little cutie before the event started with my iPhone.

Last year over 3,000 local residents showed up and from the looks of it this year was just as well attended even on a football weekend when many residents have headed to Baton Rouge for the landmark LSU vs. MSU football game!!

The weather was perfect, 73 degrees at 8:30 am.... it could not have been a better morning for a walk/run along the lakefront! I must admit I did NOT jog the entire 3K, it was so beautiful that I took advantage to walk and take photos part of the way!

Take a look for yourself, it was a gorgeous Fall morning along Shell Beach Drive in Lake Charles, LA!

This Lake Charles event was founded in 2004 by Ethel Precht to benefit local residents who were undergoing treatment for breast cancer.

In 2008 Ethel Precht started the HOPE Breast Cancer Foundation devoted to helping breast cancer survivors. The Foundation awards a scholarship at McNeese State University to a student who is a breast cancer survivor or has a member of their immediate family who is a survivor of breast cancer.

GREAT CAUSE, GREAT DAY!

Marilyn, it is nice to see when someone gives back to the community, I wish more people did that, there are many good causes and yours is by far one of them. I loved the four legged critter as well:))

I should have prepared more in training for this event but real estate has been keeping me busy interfering with my gym time! I met up with our Century 21 Relocation Manager there who jogged the entire way and I had to stop and take pictures but first I made sure Lisa took a picture of me LOL (well and catch my breath too....like I said I need to be in better fit shape for an event like this ! Fit over 50!!

Endre: I like to always participate in the community events, I love Lake Charles and this was a very worthy event but my old dog would never have made it the entire way, she can barely do a lap around the block with me :)

Marilyn... sounds like a very good worthy charity walk/run. .. if I was there, could I have crawled? Seriously, that does sound like a good turn out consider that you are so football top heavy down there... and ps.. I could use some exercise... ;o)
