A Walk to Remember!

Four years ago, my mom, my sister and I walked in the Susan G. Komen "Race for a Cure." After Jackie's cancer diagnosis and affiliation with the fabulous doctors at the Siteman Cancer Center in St. Louis, we again "raced" but we joined the Siteman Team!

Our group has grown so much bigger (even though I missed my mom, she had a bridal shower, and my sister, as she was at a family reunion for Uncle Steve's family!). Angie, her daughters Cami and Sydney, Nicole, Sharon, Shelley, Jess and Kristin!

Here is our group of 6 beautiful women (and two beautiful girls pushing their own strollers!).
Hoda Kotb, a 2 year breast cancer survivor, waved at the crowd!
Once we passed Hoda, we walked a bit more and saw this...a sea of people as far as the eye could see! It was truly an unbelievable sight!
We walked almost the entire 3.1 miles, but hopped off the walk to stop at Maggie O'Brien's for a quick lunch (before all the crowds got there!) Sad, I know, but it was still an awesome day! Here is a picture of the end of the race...LOVE the arch in the background!
After lunch we walked outside and everyone and everything from the Race was gone! We hopped on the Metro Link and headed home! It was a great morning, but a tiring one, as we had just returned home from vacation on Thursday and spent all day Friday 'catching up' with laundry, unpacking, etc. Saturday morning, the day of the Race, we were up and out of the house around 6 a.m.! Looks like Kristin was a bit tired too!
Here's a plug to Angie (the fabulous woman on the right!) who raised $500 for the cause! Great job, Ang!
