I had the opportunity to run in the "Race for the Cure" again this year. I think this is probably one of my favorite races to run because it is for such a good cause. Although the race supports Breast Cancer, I decided to run the race for my Uncle Burke this year. Cancer is Cancer right? Uncle Burke passed away this June because of complications with his cancer. I miss him so much and will always love him. Aunt Gin and Morgan decided to come down with me and watch me run. I ended up getting second place in the womens and 5th overall. My parents and little sister Teri ended up coming down at the end of the race as well. I always try to think of someone I love when I run in a race, and this time I could not think of anyone that I would rather run this race for. I love Aunt Gin and I know she is going through so much right now. She has been through so much, and I pray that she can get through this. I can't imagine losing my husband. I dont know what I would do without Destry and Im grateful for the knowledge that no matter what happens, I will be with him forever.
