Komen Race for the Cure










LSH came in this weekend to walk the Race for the Cure with the family and to celebrate her birthday. I love it when the whole family is under one roof!

I raised $690 so far for The Komen Foundation.I wish it could have been more, but is more than in the past! I am going to start earlier next year. I thank all of my family and friends that contributed! It is near and dear to my heart....I am a 10 year Breast Cancer Survivor and LSH interned for them last year.

My wonderful nephew joned us in the walk. I was touched, he is a first year law student and doesn't have much extra time. He is so thoughtful! Our family enjoyed spending a little time with him.
There were over 30,000 people there, it was sooooo......crowded! It took 2 hours to walk it because of all of the people and narrow pathways. But think of all the money raised for a great cause. I appreciate my husbands company for supporting it and paying oue entry fees and raising a lot of money for Komen (not sure of the total).
God has been so good to our family, brought us through so many hard times." With God's strength we can do anything", sometimes I need to remember to tap into that strength!
Blessings to you all-
Ellen
