Today I participated in the Central Florida Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure event at the UCF Stadium. There were soooo many people there, dressed in all shades of pink. It was a 5k walk, which equals approximately three miles. I'm not a runner at all so it's a bit misleading for me to say it's my first "race." I'd classify it better as a leisurely stroll. I was strollin'.....But it was incredibly awe-inspiring. I feel honored to have participated in such a great event that raises so much money for cancer research, in addition to raising general awareness about the issue to the community.
There were cheerleaders lined up all the way throughout the route, cheering us on. Once we crossed the finish line, we were given these cute pink ribbons with a "Race for the Cure" pin attached to it. I'm definitely excited to participate in more of these events in the future!
I love October....and not just because it's my birthday month! It's a great month for good fun and good causes!
