For three years now, I have been trying to fulfill one of my girlfriend's wishes and participate together in the Mother's Day Race for the Cure in Philadelphia (May 11).
Since we are both single parents, life often intervenes, especially since her kids like to take some time to do something for her for Mother's Day and we have not been able to make it to the race.
So, this year I took the bull by the horns and signed us up last month, and offered to pay for her kids to join us if they wanted (otherwise, we will do a dinner thing later). She was, and is, thrilled!!
Several people we know have been personally touched by breast cancer, and she has had far too many uncomfortable moments herself. Through her, this has become a cause I have become passionate about.
Because I know how busy we all get and how far away this seems, I thought I would send a WAKE UP CALL to anyone who is interested.
You can register online or, for you last minute folks, they do have walk up registration. You don't need to set a massive fundraising goal (you can simply pay the entry fee and be done with it if you don't like asking people for money).
It is a great cause, and looks like a great time! Hope to see you there!
