Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure

[Sherryg683]

One tip, be sure you get in the right line or you'll get some mean looks. I participated in it right after I was diagnosed. They had all the survivors get together before the walk. I didn't notice that there were sections divided into how many years you were a survivor. I accidentally got in the 30 years and more survivor section and was quickly told by some old gal that I need to go back down with the "babies" where I belonged..LOL. I thought it was funny but I will make dang sure I don't make the same mistake again...sherry

I am participating in the Houston walk on October 6th. I will have to remember your advice Sherry. I have already received my survivor t-shirt in the mail.

Maybe I will see you at the walk on Sunday. My daughter has been the co-chair for getting corporate sponsorship for the Milwaukee rally for the past two years. Unfortunately they do not have enough volunteers to cover the many hours it takes all year long to make this happen. She has been lucky that her boss has allowed her to participate in numerous conference calls concerning the Rally during company time. She said at times it is like having a second full time job so she is bowing out after the rally this Sunday. My husband, I and the kids are also golfing for the cure on Sat. 9/22 at the Bog. We have done this as a family outing for the past 3 years. Great fun, wonderful raffles. I won a hybrid # 7 rescue iron the first year. Wish I had a whole set of those. My son won the 50/50 raffle and gave $100.00 of his $350.00 winnings back to the cause. He would of given more back, but he was going to Las Vegas for a bachalor party the next week. I was very proud that he even thought to give a portion back when he won. Looks like it is shaping up to be a gorgeous weekend weather wise. Peace Karen
