Run for the Cure

Yesterday was the day that we did the Run for the Cure.  We have been looking forward to this for quite awhile.  James helped raise $825 for breast cancer research.   We really had a great time.

Friday we picked up our t-shirts and James picked up all sorts of pin there.  We then went to the party store to get pink things so we could be all pinked out at the run.  We got pink necklaces, hair spray, hats, gloves, and tattoos.

Sunday morning we got up and started getting ready.  We all had pink stuff to wear.  James loved the fact that he had pink hair.  It was really cold and damp so we had to bundle up as well.  After some pre-race warm ups we finally got to run.

James decided to run the full 5k.  He wanted to run it in 45 minutes which would have been 7 minutes faster than he ran it in July.  He ended up running it in 42 minutes.  He did awesome!  We were so proud of him!

He's already making plans for next year's race.  We are starting to think about fundraising goals and how to raise even more money for next year.  He wants to run the 5k in 40 minutes next year and I think he can do it.  I'm glad he enjoyed himself and is learning a lot of important things along the way. 

Here are a few pictures for yesterday.

I reached my first fundraising goal!!!!!!!!!!

On October 2nd, I will be doing the Race for the Cure.  I did this run last year, but didn't really fundraise all that much.  I decided that this year I would fundraise for this wonderful cause.  I set my first goal of $300.  Well today I reached that goal.  I have wonderful family and friends to thank for that!

I reset my goal for $500.  I'm going to keep on trying to raise money to help.  One of the things that I am going to do is donate half the money we raise from our yardsale in June to help.  I'm going to try to find other ways that I can raise money.

If you would like to help, please visit my page at the following address.  http://www.runforthecure.com/site/TR/RunfortheCure/CentralOffice?px=1361192&pg=personal&fr_id=1278

Thanks in advance for all your help!!!!!
