Grace for the Cure - Saturday

This Saturday, June 5, 2010, I'll be racing in the Susan G. Komen National Race for the Cure with family and friends (our team is Grace for the Cure). Not only is this cause near and dear to my heart, but June 5 holds significance with me. Last year on June 5 I found out that my mother had Stage IV breast cancer - she had come out of remission. After dealing with it as a family emotionally, she started treatments and our quest for a cure became top priority.

In a way we can look at this as a blessing, because it's allowed us to really value our family and relationships. Life is a gift and we're not taking one second for granted. I hope that others who know us see the type of love and support we give each other and are able to share that with their own family, even if they don't have a monster like breast cancer knocking on their door.

In the past few months we've found some interesting clinical trials and opportunities that we're still pursuing. Every day I pray for a cure for breast cancer. We'll never ever give up and events like the Komen Race are such inspiring reminders that we aren't the only ones fighting...
