Tomorrow, Saturday June 7th, I'll be hitting the streets, running in the road, and racing with RE/MAX for the annual Susan G. Komen National Race for the Cure. This annual event raises awareness and money for finding a cure for breast cancer which unfortunately afflicts so many women in this country.
I've been running this 5K race just about every year since I moved to the D.C. area in 1995. Having trained for, run and completed all 26.2 miles of the Marines Corps Marathon in 2004, 5K races aren't really too much of a challenge anymore, but I enjoy supporting a great cause and a good run through D.C. on a Saturday morning.
Moreover, having been affiliated with RE/MAX Allegiance since the summer of 2003, it's been an annual pilgrimage to the race for our brokerage. This year we've got at least 32 people from our brokerage meeting up and participating tomorrow. Click here to view our RE/MAX team website.
If you feel so inclined to help out in the fight against breast cancer, I'd be honored for you to make a donation on my personal donation website. As you'll see, I'm a little late to the game in asking for donations, but better late than never, and you can continue to donate even after the race.
I'm very proud to be part of a brokerage that's very supportive of great causes and charities like the National Race for the Cure. The Race has a very personal meaning for me since my mother is an almost 20 year breast cancer survivor.
