In The Pink

This weekend was a very special and emotional weekend for me. It was the annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. I got to spend the morning with my Una Survivor family and my sisters in the fight against breast cancer.
I am a two time breast cancer survivor and went through my own little hell starting eight years ago. However, as hard as it was for me, I am always humbled by the women who have gone through so much worse. This weekend reminds me how lucky I am to have survived. There is a special bond between the women you meet at this event. We are all fighters and we honor ourselves and those who lost the fight. For this one day, we are all sisters.
This year was especially emotional for me. I actually walked the course for the first time in a few years. In the past, my knees have prevented me from walking even the one mile, but not this year. This year, I am almost a 100 pounds lighter and I walked the mile and it felt amazing! Of course, I was weepy as I walked the pink carpet at the finish line, but that's how I roll. Nobody was there to greet me, but it didn't matter because the triumph was my own!
I'm already looking forward to next year. I plan on doing the whole 5K. Come walk with me!!
