Just wanted to let you know that yesterday 9/27/09 was the Walk for a Cure event in Chattanooga, TN and what an unbelievable site. There were over 7500 people there to walk or run and several others just cheering us on. I am one of the lucky ones and breast cancer has not touched anyone in my family but I have several close friends who have been touched by this illness.
I spent the day celebrating for those who have beat breast cancer and remembering those who did not. The chills that ran down my spine everytime a woman passed with 20, 25, even 32 necklaces around their necks is something I will never forget. I am already looking forward to next year.
