Race for the Cure 09

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
A big thank you to everyone for their generosity and support during this year's Race for the Cure. We raised over $650, with 75% of the funds going directly to central Texas counties in support of people & families dealing with breast cancer.
We had a great time that morning walking with friends. As always, it is truly breathtaking seeing all of the people out walking together, all 'pinked out.' Over 20,0000 people is an amazing site at 7am on a Sunday morning.

The new venue at the Domain did allow for less disruption for those people with events downtown on a Sunday morning, but boy was traffic nuts up north. They were not prepared. We were parked on the highway, then the off-ramp, then the feeder for quite some time before bailing and parking the car at a completely different strip shopping center before walking 1 and a quarter miles to get to the start. While the scenery wasn't as inspiring as walking towards the Capitol, the people always are - we enjoyed the morning, glad to support this cause, and finished off with a delicious breakfast with friends at Waterloo. Here's Zoe that morning before we headed out.
