Race for the Cure

This event doesn't completely tie to Disney, but it use to. This is the second year that this event has been away from the WDW resort. I am disappointed in that, but am over it too. Breast cancer is something that came into my life several times. I had an Aunt that married to my mom's oldest brother who had suffered from it. Then my mom's sister survived it. And then my mom discovered a lump. She was just released from her 5 years clear (2009), and another lump was found her other breast within a couple weeks. I have had many, MANY patients who have had breast cancer and friends too. I have become friends with an AMAZING group of Disboard women because of this disease. They inspire me and am proud to know them. All the people mentioned above, even with a name, are why I want to do this or why I participate in other events (like scrapbooking for a cure).

This is something near and dear to me. I have on my bucket list to participate in a Race for the Cure. I had planned to do that this year..... but it took SO long to get this date from them, that I forgot and have other plans that weekend. Could I change them??? Not really. I have my vacation that week and am going away that first weekend (the weekend of the RFTC) to a place up north. (Sorry, no details about that). I come back and then go to WDW to see friends.

My plan was to create a small team and do the walk. There is both a walk and a run. Raise money to help fight this disease. More information can be found at the site below. Please join this fight in any way you can.

I really wanted to do this. I guess it's something to do next year...
