This past weekend, I joined about 20,000 other walkers/runners in the 19th annual Greater Nashville Race for the Cure. This annual benefit is sponsored by the
Susan G. Komen Foundation and is a nationwide event that occurs throughout the year in various cities.
To say it was an honor to be among thousands of breast cancer survivors and supporters is quite the understatement. It was an incredible thing to see an entire community come together for a single goal:
to create a world without breast cancer. The atmosphere of the event was beautiful, inspiring, motivating, convicting, encouraging... to say the very least. I'm already looking forward to next year's race and planning to get a mob of friends to join me.
Here are several pictures from our wonderful day:

Go, team, go!

That would be me snacking on ice cream less than a mile into the 5K.
That's how I roll... |

| Running and walking for a cure. |

| We did it! |

That's so great, such a wonderful cause! We were suppose to do one about a month ago but we had a horrible storm. As much as I wanted to go, I'm glad I didn't. Someone actually got struck by lightning. They were ok but still so scary! Glad you had such great weather for yours!
