Race for the Cure

When my daughter, Cindy Moore, was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, the whole family as well as many friends participated in the Annual Susan G. Komen "Race for the Cure" to raise money for Breast Cancer research and treatment. Many have continued to participate every year since.


Today was the annual event. John Crowl, my son-in-law, is shown on the left with two of Cindy's sons, Kyle and Luke. John and his two girls, Jordan and Madison, walked the 5K course. But both Kyle and Luke, along with Alex, Cindy's youngest, and Sam, John and Becky's youngest, all ran the 5K course. Sam's time for the 5K was something like 26 minutes and Alex's time was something like 29 minutes. Pretty good times for 10 and 11 year olds!

They make me proud!

But more importantly . . . there were 28,500 runners, walkers and survivors who participated . . . and the "Race for the Cure" raised $1.2 Million Dollars here in Kansas City today for Breast Cancer research and treatment!

Now that really makes me proud!
