This coming weekend, I’m participating in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, to raise money for breast cancer awareness, treatment and research. Breast cancer has sadly touched many women in my life, including my grandmother, cousin, mother-in-law, and very close friend. Donating to the cause is the best way I know to go about helping them. And not only am I donating to the cause, I’m asking you to help as well. Below is a link to the donation page. My goal is to raise $200 for this race. Obviously, if I can raise more than that, it would be fantastic. Any and all donations are welcome. If you can’t afford to donate (and I’ve been there too), your positive thoughts and support are all I need. And if you’re feeling ambitious, feel free to pass the donation link on to others. The more people who can help, the faster we can find a cure!
**Edited to add: My goal of $200 was smashed rather quickly (like within an hour of the original post), so I’ve upped it to $400. Thanks to everyone who’s donated so far, and everyone who plans to donate!!

[...] Last year I did the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure 5K walk and raised money for an excellent cause. I had planned on doing it this year as well, but had to change my plans. There are many wonderful causes that I’d love to raise money for, but I just don’t have the time or resources to do them all. That’s why I’ve decided to focus on one or two functions a year to throw my full support behind. [...]
