This weekend I participated in the Walk to Empower for Breast Cancer Support. It was really fun. I raised $120 for the cause and earned a cute pink tee shirt. The event started really early on Sunday morning. There were vendors and all types of free giveaways to indulge in before the big walk started. All of the teams had on matching shirts or hats. We decorated our pink tee shirts a couple nights before with puffy paint. They came out pretty good! Even my shirt was kind of cute, which says a lot. I'm normally not very artistic, but I must admit, my shirt was pretty cute!
Once the walk began around 9:15 you could see a mass of pink floating around the National Mall. 45 minutes and 3 miles later we were at the finish line. It felt good to do something for someone else. To walk for women that have been diagnosed, and to show support for a cause that means so much to so many was special. Everyone was walking for someone. Until recently I didn't know of anyone with the disease, and I was proud to walk on behalf of a friend that's been a survivor for a year!!!!
I hope everyone enjoyed their Mother's Day as much as I did!
