Race for the Cure

This Saturday was the Race for the Cure to help find a cure for Breast Cancer. I walked with Melissa Ashdown for the benefit of her mother who was diagnosed with breast cancer less than five years ago. There was a wonderful turnout at the race in spite of the weather. A lot of people are dedicated to this cause and we had a great time celebrating with the survivors.

They dyed the fountain pink in Linn Park! How cool is that?

We got there pretty early before the race started so we could see the survivor parade. They all stood by a sign to celebrate how many years they had been fighting this terrible disease. We couldn't get close enough to get a picture of Melissa's mom, but she was in the 5 years and less group.
