Today I participated in the Susan G. Komen North Texas Race for the Cure. Mark, Jack and I met Laurie there and did the 1-mile walk. There were more than 11,000 registered participants and 800 survivors. Those of us who are survivors wore special pink shirts. We had a group photo before the race and a parade at the end of the race.
I met so many amazing women during the morning. Some were long-time survivors. Others were babies like me. One woman we walked with had just lost her best friend of 35 years to breast cancer just two weeks ago. We walked, talked and cried together.
Thank you to those of you who donated money to support this cause. The race today raised more than $1 million dollars to help fund research to find a cure.
Today also kicked off my new exercise-filled life. I've been doing very well with my vegetarian plans so far. I have had a little fish but that's it. Those of you who know me well know that I will not be perfect on the vegetarian plan. However, reducing red meat from my diet is a major goal.
Hope you all have a great weekend!
Much love,
Janet
