i admire my mom for a lot of reasons...she's generous, is an avid reader, a master at baking cookies and is known as a pretty great dancer! but i also admire her cause she's survived breast cancer twice. this past january was her five year anniversary of the second round of cancer. she's been honest, tender, hopeful, and sometimes a bit sassy through the whole process. but she's used this experience to challenge others to educate themselves and she's been an amazing source of encouragement as well.
so this year for mother's day i'm joining my mom and sister and some other wacky women to participate in the Y-ME’s Race to Empower in Chicago. For years my sister has participated in a lot of these walks to honor our mom and other women she knows...it's also burdened me that i haven't had the space in my schedule to be a part of this event. so i'm really excited!
if you have someone in your life that you would like to honor or if you just want to offer support to this cause you can go to my web-page for the race and one, either join me for the big walk or two, you can support me through a donation (if i reach $300 i will dye my hair pink for the walk) this can be a great mother's day gift! but i hope this inspires and challenges you to educate yourself, take action to prevent, and reach out to someone you know who's been impacted by breast cancer. find a way to honor them...
