At 8:00 this morning, it was 45 degrees and raining with bitter cold blowing wind, but no matter the weather, hundreds began to gather down at the Syracuse University athletics center. Lucia and I were among many who attended the Carol M Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund's "A Run for their Life".
For this event, we chose to participate in the Victory walk instead of the 5k or 15k run. My bones and joints still aren't up for a run...shit, due to the weather today I barely made it through the one mile jaunt. On my daily dog walks, we sometimes get a wild hair up our asses and try to run but I never make it past the stop sign on my street.
Just as I did at last weekend's American Cancer Society event, I ran into many friends and several survivor sisters. This pink club sucks but the best part of it is knowing I am never alone. Today was a great example of the amazing support in our community that surrounds this terrible disease.
