What A Race!

Tick Tock.  I honestly don’t know where the time has gone.
The 2010 Triangle Race for the cure is mere weeks away!
It’s the 14th year for this huge event in Raleigh.  I’ve been in it, almost every one of those years.

My passion for the cause goes all the way back to the time I worked in Miami, Florida.  I was the health reporter back then, and reported on, and hosted several specials on the topic of breast cancer.  I found myself inspired by the courage and strength of breast cancer survivors.  Over time, that conviction for helping to cause a world without breast cancer has grown stronger.

At every chance I get, I work as an advocate for and participant in issues and events that support breast cancer research.
I have sang, run, and walked for a cure!

I was so honored last year to serve as honorary chairwoman for the 2009 Triangle Race for the Cure.  Further, I have also served on the board of directors.

I am on fire about the fight.

I love the words in the Melissa Etheridge song, I Run For Life:

I run for hope
I run to feel
I run for the truth
For all That is real
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
I run for you and me my friend, I run for life.

To me, that just about says it all when it comes to the intention of all those who participate in the Triangle Race for the Cure.

We were 22,000 strong last year.  Here’s to another great year!
