[sauerkraut]

Hey Gang- on Sept. 25, 2010 by the City-Plex Towers they plan to do a timed 5K race, cost to enter is $35.00 it's a win-win all the money goes to a good cause, and there will be alot of fun in the race. They also plan to have a un-timed 5K for $30.00 and 1-mile kidz fun run.

You beat me to it!  I was coming to post about Race for the Cure 

I plan on being there. Volunteered to help Thursday at Promenade as well.

My mother has breast cancer and so does her four sisters, though one is close to getting "cancer" free.

It's a scary disease and great cause.  Due to fundraising events like this, cancer isn't the death sentence it was 20 or even 30 years ago.  Unfortunately the 25th is the weekend of the MS-150 ride from Tulsa to OKC via Rte. 66 so I cannot attend.

The wife of one of my co-workers was just diagnosed with inflammitory tissue breast cancer (I think I got that right).  At any rate, there's a clinic at M.D. Anderson specifically for this type of BC and they are there now.

FMC and I will be riding in the Livestrong Challenge in Austin in October in support of the Livestrong Foundation for cancer research.

Good on your for supporting a cancer cause!  We do make a difference to whatever cause we support.

Inflammatory breast cancer is not an easy one, not that any of them are easy, but that one sounds more scary.  I think it advances much faster because of the inflammatory nature.

Breast carcinoma is serious, In Columbus, Ohio we lost a famous morning news anchor to that disease (Heather Pick from channel 10) she first got it at age 29, they thought it was cured and the cancer came back like wild fire and spread to her bones, she died at the age of 36 from it. Very grim stuff. I guess the race event  is a national thing Omaha is having one on October 3rd at the civic center..
