Race for the Cure is a great way to show support & have a good time! Sydney (the Teen queen), her mom, my mom, & I all got together Saturday morning & drove out to Plano for the Race. I woke up as we were supposed to leave (oops!), but we actually got there right on time, & everything worked out J We ended up seeing another titleholder there, Kayla who is Mrs. Texas Galaxy, so we teamed up with her & her friend for the walk. Kayla’s mom has survived breast cancer twice! Amazing!!

The whole experience is so uplifting! I really couldn’t have a better platform. I get to participate in events like this one where everyone is soooo happy to be there. Everyone was there for a purpose, & it was really evident.
The winner of the Race - a little over 17 minutes!
Because my mom is a survivor, she got a lot of special attention – duh! Survivors all got pink t-shirts, while the other participants got white ones. They also got pink hats & adorable bags J

After the Race was over, we went around to the different booths gathering information, taking pictures with people, & getting lots of free goodies!

How cute is she??
My favorite part of the whole day was when my mom got to be in the survivor parade! Each group had a sign showing how many years they have been cancer free. I was so glad Mom decided to participate in it!! I teared up seeing her there underneath the “15-20 Year Survivor” sign.
