Bright and early this morning I ran my final race to raise money for the Fitzgerald Cancer Fund. Very fitting that it was the North Shore Cancer Run!! It was a bright and sunny day. As I came across the finish the speakers were blasting
It's Beautiful Day by U2. I thought to myself that it really is...so many people running and walking to raise money and tell cancer to get lost.
The end of the race mingled with the walk. I saw families in matching shirts honoring their loved ones with names and pictures on their backs. Children and the elderly...all walking..each one with a different story of cancer.. Last year my family did the 6M walk as my aunt was at Mass General kicking cancer's ass. :) Since last year, many more people in my circle have been diagnosed..and it sucks. Time for it to go!!
I have a few draft posts that are coming soon...but I can tell you that so far my fundraising has surpassed what I expected when I started this journey six months ago...THANK YOU for helping me help the Fitzgeralds!!!!!!!
