The Race for the Cure





Eden, her two girls, and I "raced" for the cure Saturday morning, along with 16,000 others! It was a beautiful sight...pink everywhere...representing those who have fought, are fighting, or may fight breast cancer. When Eden was in high school, as vice president of her class, she organized a Borah High contingent to participate in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. It has remained a commitment in her life, now with greater meaning than ever...her Aunt Karen is a two-time breast cancer survivor (my sister) and her cousin (my niece and namesake), Kristin, was just diagnosed and underwent a bilateral mastectomy a week ago. We proudly wore their names on our backs and celebrated their courage.
