Many of the runners went to Monroe early this AM for "The Race for the Cure". If you have been a regular reader, you know that one of our running group was diagnosed with breast cancer last Spring. SC remarked today as we registered and Lisa slipped on her "Survivor Pink Shirt", "Who would have guessed last year that Lisa would be donning that pink shirt today?" So true-YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT LIFE WILL BRING.Lisa has finished her treatment and will not require radiation, so now she is playing the "Waiting Game". It had to be encouraging to see that group of survivors standing there with some with 20+ years of survival under their belt. Treatment has come a long way and while still an ominous diagnosis, "We have come a long way, Baby." The funds raised in today's race will stay 75% in the local community.
Larry made hats for us to wear today that said: "Lisa's Groupies". I think she loved it! We love our friend and continue to pray for her complete recovery. As a little side-note, the members of our group were Big Winners, with names being called as 5K Winners. While we are delighted to be recognized for our running, the real winner in the group-LISA!
