Q
unfortunately, it was too late for me to pull out of the Race for the Cure..... so I have decided to Run in the competitive 5k division of the 2012 Race for the Cure, and have formed a race team called "Jogging for Jugs".
Somewhere on my race tee-shirt, I will have the letters "ISWPP" and "FYSGKF" (let's see if you can guess what those stand for!
The reason I have decided to go ahead and race is that I support my local affiliation as they are against the national's decision and are still working with our Local PP organization to provide screenings and mammograms. I would be more than happy to provide anyone who asks, a copy of the email the local chapter sent me.
While, this may very well be my last Race for the Cure because of this issue, I cannot turn my back on the reason I run in this race.... because i'm sure not running for the Komen Foundation!.
I am running for those who are still dealing with this horrible disease.... I am running for those who have laid down their swords in their fight against breast cancer, and I am running for those who cannot run.
Those of you who decide you want to help out a local affiliate such as the Greater Fort Worth affiliate, here is the link to my race team..... feel free to help out.
