Race for the Cure

Today was the Race for the Cure! I walked with my mom and with Gail Janowitz, a two time breast cancer survivor and the person who told us about the walk.

There were tons and tons of people at the walk, many wearing tags with the names of loved ones who had breast cancer. For as far as I could see there were people in the pink and white shirts walking for the Cure. It was an amazing sight.

Thank you to all of my sponsors; you are awesome, I couldn't believe how many people, friends, neighbors, relatives, donated to this important cause. We raised a total of more than five hundred dollars!!!

Grading:

Efficiency: 9
Easiness: 9*
Fun: 10

This was a really fun event and afterwards my mom was exhausted and I went on to play three hours of softball and we all enjoyed the free applesauce, juice, gift bag, and fruit roll up.

*For people who can't make the race or aren't up for a three mile walk or run, there is the option of sleeping for the Cure which would probably get a 10 in easiness. If you can make the race and walk or run three miles , I highly recommend doing the race because it is such a great experience and it helps to show how much this cause means to people.
