I Hate Cancer – My First “athon”

My friend, Charlene McComas, kicked breast cancer’s ass five years ago. But then it came back and took her down in the ugliest of battles. She died in July.

Most of you who know me understand that I am not a “joiner.” I don’t take well to crowds and organized activities. Yet I feel so strongly about the Susan G. Komen Foundation’s Race for a Cure that I am participating in a run/walk on Sept. 28 in Orange County.

I’m hoping to raise at least $1,000 for the foundation — can you please pledge? Even if it’s just $1 or $5, it is a welcome addition to the cause and a chance to help make a change, for the better. And, hellooooooo charitable donation!!!!

Because cancer sucks. And I hate it. And I can’t possibly stand to see one more person I know die from it.
