Race for the Cure

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

I participated in my first Race for the Cure! It was amazing and I am already planning for next year. If you have never participated in one of these walks take the plunge and do it!

I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who supported me in my fundraising efforts!

Please click on the title of this post to see news coverage from our local Denver paper. The walk route took us onto interstate 25 and exit ramp to make a human "pink ribbon"! Everyone walking was so nice and so passionate about what we were doing. They had survivors walking and those who could not were being carried in pedicabs. Everyone had a story on their backs with their "celebrations" and "in memory of" statements. As many of you know, I walked in memory of my grandmother, Grace Thelma Hoffman (7-12-1983), one of the most amazing women I have ever known!

Here are some statistics that I took from Kayce's blog - you can also check out her version of the same event at:http://obriensincolorado.blogspot.com/

46 degrees, 54,000 people in pink, live music, 3.2 miles = over $2 million dollars raised for breast cancer research and awareness at the 2009 Denver Race for the Cure!
