Running

I know it's summertime, and it's too hot to even think about walking, let alone running.

But I am here to start pushing and nagging, because before you know it, October, specifically October 19th, will be here.
"What is so special about that date?" I can hear your mind wondering. (yeah, I know, I really can't, but humor me....it's hot out).
October 19th is the day that thousands, yes, thousands of feet will be pounding the pavement  during the Susan G. Komen Arkansas Race for the Cure in hopes of finding a cure.

And we really need to find a cure.  Too many people are losing their battles with cancer. I know this all too well--I have lost 3 family members this year to cancer. 
3 people who won't be around to watch all the silliness and fun that goes on the morning of Race Day. 
3 people who won't be around to encourage and support those who will be participating October 19th.
3 people who won't be around to tell their stories about their battles. 
I'm sure you know cancer warriors too, some who have lost their battles, and some who have been victorious in their fight.

So, won't you join those of us who will be lucky enough to go to downtown Little Rock on October 19th?

Please go to www.komenarkansas.org and register.  you can join our team, The Bookends, if you want--we love having crazy, funny, spirited warriors on our team!

So, on this hot sunny summer day, join us.
Run for those who will get their diagnosis this year.

run for those who are still fighting.
Run for those who can't.
