Booby Prize


Sunday was the 18th Annual Komen Race for the Cure (Breast Cancer) downtown in KCMO.  Three of our family participated, the fourth enrolled in the "Sleep In For The Cure" event.  As always an inspiring happening, my 11th, was a bit more meaningful this year.  Lisa's friend Terri had her double radical mastectomy two weeks ago and showed up for the 1 mile walk...amazing.  Many inspirational stories of courage and survival as well as participants who were there in memory of those who died from the cancer.

Bubba, me and Mboy did the 5K, a nice assortment of bands playing on the course and a relatively cool day made for a pleasant run.  They say there were 30,000 who walked or ran, regardless, there was lots of pink.  If you've never participated I highly recommend you consider it next year.
