Race (Brunch?) for the CURE

posted Sunday, 16 October 2005

NJ got over 10" of rain in the past week and a half... resulting in some complications for the NJ Race for the Cure. After re-routing the race (due to flooding in part of the course), the Komen Foundation was forced to cancel the race this year. The tents that they had up were collapsing because the ground was so saturated and they didn't want to risk anyone getting hurt.
This of course, is a huge blow to the organization -- they typically get a lot of donations on the day of the event & at this point, rescheduling appears nearly impossible. We are still collecting donations (through mid-November), so if you have not given yet, please visit my website and consider making a contribution.   I am very close to my goal of raising $5000...
I didn't want this opportunity to escape though, so I invited all the folks who were racing to come to "brunch for the cure" with me at bob evans. we had a nice turnout and enjoyed a great breakfast and good company - thanks to those who volunteered to walk/run/sleep in for the cure & thanks to those who came out for brunch!
