We also had a chance to speak to two wonderful people who were walking in the name of their friends. An Aunt and a Niece who were battling breast cancer together. I almost cried when I found out the niece was only 10 years old. TEN YEARS OLD! It is crazy to think someone so young has to go through a debilitating and potentially fatal disease. It wears on my heart to think that so many woman's longevity it attacked by this cancer.
My hope is one day there will be a CURE to Breast Cancer. Hopefully the lives of grandmothers, mothers, daughters, nieces and cousins will not be unjustly cut short.

What an awesome event! I wish they had things like that around here, but unfortunately if they do, I haven't heard about them.
I also know women who have been affected by breast cancer and it breaks my heart to see them go through this.. Here's to hoping we find a cure so that no other women have to suffer!
10!? Omg that breaks my heart. Good for you for doing this!! I volunteer every year for the LiveSTRONG challenge. It reminds me why I do it everytime I put on that yellow shirt.
