When you have a moment, please watch this short film of last year's race. I wasn't able to participate in the race due to family coming in that day from out of town, and I saw this footage for the first time at the Team Captains' Party last Sunday.
May I reveal something about myself? My aunt died of breast cancer two years ago, and I thought that I had dealt with her death and moved on. Only, I hadn't. Seeing this film and understanding what Komen and Race Day are all about helped me understand that I'm not participating just to be a good sport. I have a real reason to participate, and that reason is my aunt. She died, but I can pay my $26 and walk so that someone else doesn't lose an aunt.
This year, I'm walking for Aunt Sheila.

Jon's grandmother has beaten breast cancer once, over 10 years ago. She found out in March, that it is back. She faces chemo once a week until the end of November. She is so strong and courageous. I am walking for her, Bertie Haynes.
