Pink

This weekend, after a high school football game and Wurstfest, I'm participating in Komen Austin's Race for the Cure.

Last year there were over 22,000 people who particpated and this year they are expecting 24,000! The sea of pink people is truly inspiring. Austin is doing this wonderful 'Power of 10' campaign this year - $10 dollars from 10 people, and then if 10 people who know those 10 people contribute $10, and so on - just imagine what wonderful things this could accomplish! Breast cancer is the most lethal form of cancer among women worldwide, with approximately 500,000 new and existing patients dying from the disease each year, according to Komen Austin. Thank you to everyone who has contributed and volunteered for this cause!
