RACE FOR THE CURE
The Susan G. Komen’s Race for the Cure was like nothing I’d ever seen before! Dallas, Texas knows how to do it in a big way, with about 20,000 people in attendance. My good friend, Laura, put a team together for me, called Kitty’s Krew( Kitty is my nickname, but I’m more of a lion ). My youngest son, came up with the name and logo. I found out the day before, that my blood counts were not very good, I was almost neutropenic again. I was told I could attend, but with a mask on. I did keep it on, except for the pictures, and basically held my breath! We decided that I shouldn’t be in the crowd, so I did not walk.
I was so touched by my friends and family that came out in my support! It was way early on a Saturday morning, but they showed up anyway! I was truly overwhelmed to see the support of all the thousands of people who were there for this cause. It seems almost everyone has been touched in some way by a person who has had breast cancer.

I’m very proud of you, Cathy, and also concerned. Please take good care of yourself with your blood count so low. That was a wonderful tribute to you to have so many family and friends on Kitty’s Krew. Love you.
