Race for the Cure 2010

We did the Race for the Cure again this year.  Every year I run in memory of my Great Grandma Lucille.  She was in her early 30s when she died from breast cancer and all the complications that she had from the different treatments they were trying on her.  It was an honor again this year to run in her memory. 

Also this year was a little more tender because Tyler's Aunt Gayle was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and is in treatment right now.  She is fighting the fight and being truly amazing through it all.  We love her so much and we decided to make t-shirts in her honor.  She has a blog that her daughter's created for her it's called http://whenlifehandsyoucancer.blogspot.com/ make pink lemonade.  So on our T-shirts we put "Making Pink Lemonade in Honor of Gayle's Lemons" with a picture of Gayle.  We love you Gayle!!!  You're an inspiration!!!

This is such a fun race to be involved in.  If you haven't done it plan to next year because the vibe and energy is just amazing.  I go from laughing at shirts with humor to crying at "in memory of my mommy" on little kids.  Just truly a great cause. 

Some of the funny shirt sayings...

1.  Support the boobs, stop the war in my raq.
2.  I don't need a bra I've got lots of support.
3.  Breast Friends.
4.  Cruisin' for Coconuts
5.  Bookin' for Boobies
6.  Save the Ta tas.
7.  Bibbity Bobbity Boob
8.  ________'s Rack Pack

People can be so clever.  I know there were more but I can't think of them right now.  Another great saying I kept hearing and seeing was "Start the fight by living right.  I am the cure." 

Anyway, here are some pics of Tyler, Kit, Cameron, me and Gloria after the race. :)
