Tomorrow is a big day for my family.
Sunday, October 5th is the Denver Komen Race for The Cure.
My wife has now participated in the Race for ten years here in Denver and while the kids and I have been supporters and even team members that Sleep In For The Cure, this year is the first year that we will all be active participants. We are completing the Co-Ed 5K together tomorrow.
Our team is over 70 members strong and has now raised close to $9,000 that goes straight to the Denver Race for A Cure. My wife Laura is captain for the 2nd year of her team - Team FOJ is Friends of Julie - and if you know Julie, you know how special she is. The picture to the left is from my house earlier this week. There were similar piles in a few places.
I remember the first year Laura was a part of this, she was supporting maybe 2 or 3 people that were fighting breast cancer. Years have passed and all I can say is this is an awful disease. The amount of people that we have seen fight this is staggering. We have several close friends that are currently fighting and I know of 3 women this year that have passed on from this horrible disease. I know this year is been extremely important to our team members in so many ways. My pictures here are ones Laura took last year during the 2007 Denver Komen Race For The Cure.
I am really looking forward to tomorrow.
Although on line registration is now closed for the Race, you can still register in person tomorrow. Be there. Race for the Cure, so our kids don't have to.
Don't forget to support local businesses that are supporting the Race. REMAX is a national sponsor of the Race for The Cure and has been for some time and here is a post I wrote about another local business. Living in Denver ~ Gelazzi Is More Than Tasty Treats

Steve - best of luck to you and your family. This is such an admirable benefit. I, too, know many who are survivors, but a number who are not, including a cousin and our own Karen George here on AW. Having participated in similar kinds of events, there is nothing like the feeling of accomplishement and contributing to a worthy cause.
