It is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Many companies and organizations have been advertising special sales and events to benefit different Breast Cancer Organizations. The Susan G. Komen for the Cure is one of the best known and is the one that organizes the Race for the Cure.
My "women" and I will be participating in the Race/Walk again this year (Saturday, October 20 at Bayfront Park). As I have mentioned before, we will be a group of survivors and supporters and also remember those that are no longer with us. I am very fortunate and proud that the survivors that are in our group are strong women that refused to be casualties and victims. They are active in their treatment and recovery. Some did it for their families, some for other personal reasons, but what they all have in common is that they had support from family and friends.
So far, my collections from sponsors for the Race has been slow (meaning not as much as I collected last year). The good part of this is that many of those that were sponsoring me last year are participants this year, therefore a greater pool of new sponsors.
Again, I will be participating with the Barcardi Team. It's always fun and we get together early for the presentations and to share stories before the event begins.
For the "40's Birthday Girls" this has become the October event and we will all get together after the event for a nice breakfast/brunch. Though, knowing this group, it might turn into a whole other event all together.
