And, yes, blog-readers, there has been a noticeable lack in posts as of late. About to pick up as I catch up.
But first - the Austin Race for the Cure is Sunday. Friends and family have contributed over $600 this year, and I am so thankful to each and every one of you who has donated. A woman has a 12 percent risk of developing breast cancer in her lifetime, and the majority of women (90 to 95 percent) with breast cancer have no known significant family history or other known risk factors. This cancer really does affect a lot of people. This year Komen Austin is expecting 22,000 racers on race day, most of them raising funds for breast cancer research. 75% of the money raised stays in the Austin area, with 25% going to national efforts. Every dollar really does make a difference, and thank you all so much for helping me support this cause.
