Race (or walk) for the Cure

On October 10th, my mother in law and I walked in the Race for the Cure. She is a breast cancer survivor and it meant a lot to both of us to walk in this together. Neither of us had ever been to the event and had no idea what to expect. The first thing we got to do was the survivor walk, and before we took 2 steps, we were both overwhelmed with the magnitude of the situation~and both of us were crying. We just simply did not realize how many women are affected by this, and I think it just made us both so thankful that she was a survivor. When the race began, we were toward the back of the pack and we could not see the end of the sea of people in either direction. It was a great way to spend that morning, with her, celebrating her miracle, and being reminded of how truly blessed we are!
