Coming: Race For The Cure, 13 May…
Come one, Come All….
This is THE program that all of us can and should get “behind.” The statistics are still overwhelming: 1 in 8 women will experience breast cancer before they turn 40 years of age. We all have friends and loved ones who have battled this disease and we have lost others close to us who did not “win” their proud fight against this killer.
The Susan B. Komen foundation has become the biggest source of funding for research, education, and treatment programs for this disease in the world. We can ALL support this program with our small entry fee contribution, and our presence in the crowd on Saturday morning.
IF you need to get a bigger, longer, or “better quality” workout effort in for your own personal training agenda, you can simply park near Panera or even University Park and then run over to Cal Expo for the “event.” Run the 5k, or even “race” it and then do your long cool-down back to your car.
Show the “survivors” that you care, and that you support them and “the cause” with your participation. This program is giving young woman hope and the medical research community the funds to actually become “proactive” with this most serious disease.
Boston Marathon, postscript….
Did you see the ONL Boston Marathon coverage? We finally reviewed our TIVO’d recording and it was easy to spot our own Mary Coordt in the “elite starting field,” as she was the one in the long t-shirt conservatively starting near the back of that special field.
And then in the closing segment as the race clock approached 2:55 who is coming down Boyleston? Our own Mary Coordt is almost the featured finisher in the closing scenes. She is the one in the yellow top running VERY strongly and over the last few strides….waving to her “fans” in the crowd !!!!
