Every year my participation in Race for the Cure is a bit different.
This year I did not sponsor a team. This is the first year in a long time that
there was no Team Haralee.Com.
With no pressure for a Team, my husband I donned our pink
clothes and took off for the Race. The numbers were down by half this year as
the Komen Foundation still is feeling the backlash from last years’ debacle.
Since the participation was low so were the vendors. We were able to just
stroll into the survivor’s tent for pictures and goodies bags. Usually the line
is almost prohibitive.
Since we were a team of 2, when the buzzer sounded for the
race to start we merged into the pack. As we approached a Starbucks we stopped
in for a cup of coffee and watched the race for a spell before rejoining.
Tutus were still a big costume addition for many
participants. Wigs were plentiful as were wings. The bands and cheerleaders
were outstanding this year! There were a few oddities too.
A plastic surgeon’s team, Dr. Hu, had a collection of custom
black T-shirts that read: “Let me give your breast a lift”, “Want Boobs”, “Hu
Knows Boobs”. Bad taste? I think so. It is all fun and games until some one
looses a breast!
I feel the same about this years Race as every year. Hopeful
that there are so many survivors and sad that there are so many who died.
People wear on their shirts “In celebration of” and “In memory of” to those
they want to honor. This year I honored
the death of my good friend Pat and celebrated my friends Sandy and Maureen.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Before you say you
are tired of all the pink and breast cancer crap (I actually heard that!), remember
breast cancer could happen to you or your mother, sister, daughter or friend. 1
in 8 women will get breast cancer in her lifetime. There is no cure for breast
cancer, so don’t dismiss the pink!
Will you participate or have you participated in The Race
for The Cure or another Cancer race? Who do you race for?
