It's Race for the Cure time!

It's been a pretty uneventful (thankfully!) summer. There has been lots of family outings and events. This coming weekend is Emily Lamb's wedding. We have all been looking forward to this wedding.

Pauline had a rough late spring with the passing of her sister, Marilyn and then a month later, her dear friend, Betty. She is doing well, feeling better and now ready to conquer the 5K race that is Race for the Cure. This year's race is Saturday, September 10th in downtown Cleveland. We had a great group last year and we are half way there to have the same group this year. Pauline is gearing up for the walk and this time vows to make it the entire way. Last year she was close to it since they didn't have the trolley to take her back from Terminal Tower.

As I've mentioned before, my good friend, Barra Terrigno is also a breast cancer survivor. She gave me and Mom plenty of hints in the days before surgery and chemo. I walked with Barra and her team, Barra's Backers, when she was diagnoised in 2008. I missed the 2009 walk as I was out of town, but I was with the walkers in spirit. Last year I started Pauline's Posse to celebrate Pauline. Barra and I decided to put together a video celebrating the Race for the Cure and our participation in it for our company's blog. The video is a slideshow of pictures from the past few years of Race for the Cure. I dare you not to get emotional. I get emotional every time I see it! View the video here

There are two purposes for the video-sharing the story of Barra and Pauline, but also to encourage people to donate. So, please don't hesitate to donate or join Pauline's Posse today at: http://neohio.info-komen.org/site/TR?team_id=172149&fr_id=2180&pg=team
