From start to finish, Sunday was a day to think about what it would be like if a cure was found for breast cancer. Our family started the day with a pancake breakfast for the Girl Scout Troop and La Verne Resident Walkers. We headed over to City of Hope and met up with family and friends who were there to support us and others they know with breast cancer. The walkers included, Jon's cousins, my bible study buddies, long time friends, and my fabulous "Mrs. B's Junior Mints." We walked the entire 5K, and crossed the finish line. It was fun!
My Junior Girl Scouts had an amazing offer presented to them while at the walk. They were offered the opportunity to see a benefit concert for City of Hope that very night in Los Angeles. We did a quick turn around (I managed a 20 minute nap), and our group headed down to the Nokia Theatre where we had wonderful seats. We got to see Demi Lavato, Jesse McCartney, and Miley Cirus perform. Between performers, there were beautiful videos talking about the amazing things that happen at City of Hope. It was a proud, but surreal, feeling to see the campus and know that I have walked those halls every month for the past two years. With all the awareness, we have to be close to a cure!
Thank you to everyone who have saved pink lids (Yoplait), purchased pink labeled items at the store, and made donations this month. Who would have ever guessed that October would become Breast Cancer Month?
All my sisters in this fight are grateful,
Sandy
