Before the race... let's get this show on the road, ok?
There were 20,000 participants this year!
Look closely at the bottom left of the picture...
Richard is yelling, I am starting my Garmin,
Amie and Roland are set to take off!
We always try to get up to the very front of the start line -
there's less chance of being run over by all 20,000 runners:)

Amie, the queen of re-purposing, made these adorable
Race for the Cure dresses for the girls out of my t-shirts from previous years...
aren't they perfect?? They were a big hit!
Eric and Charlie having fun while waiting and waiting for us to cross the finish line!
Roland always runs right by me,
encouraging me all along the way...
encouraging me all along the way...
this year I was happy to finish 4th out of all the Survivors.
Amie and Richard - happy to be be crossing the finish line!
the survivor parade...
peace out.
peace out.
This race marked my 12th year as a survivor -
I am oh so grateful.
I always listen to the same song every year as I run, "I Run for Life"
which was written specifically for the Race for the Cure:
I run for hope,
I run to feel,
I run for the truth,
For all that is real.
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife,
I run for you and me, my friend.
I run for life!
Until next year...
