Walk for cancer!

This morning I had a 5K walk for cancer. It was 6 of my boss', 2 other ladies from my company in different departments and myself. We were team Princess Tours and the speaker at the end of the marathon said the top three fundraisers for individuals and teams. We were in 3rd place for teams. The first place for individuals raised over $8,000 and for the team it was over $14,000. It was amazing.

There was something that you could buy called a tribute patch. You buy one (a donation) and put a name on it of someone your walking for. Then you wear it throughout your walk/run and at the end you place it on the wall. I got one for my Auntie Lei. She died of Leukemia years ago. My very good friend (who also happens to be my boss) Carla made one for her mom Pilar and my other supervisor Shannon made one for her husband Greg.

Here's one more step towards a cure...
