Yesterday, was the Race for the Cure 5K in Salt Lake. I picked up Margel and Kaylynne at their house about 6:30 AM then went to the Trax station at 7800 S. We met up with Mitzy and her daughter Jennifer then rode Trax to the Gateway Mall where the race started at 8:30. It was more of a walk as there were over 18,000 people there and there wasn't much room to run even if I wanted to. All of us stayed close together. Afterwards, we hung out at some of the sponsors booths where they had free stuff to give out.
This year had special meaning for me because Mitzy had breast cancer last year. She has had treatment and is doing well. Because she is a survivor, she got to wear a pink shirt instead of a white one. The rest of us wore white shirts.
It was quite amazing to see the amount of people there. There were young and old there. There were survivors and friends and family of survivors there. I really enjoyed doing this 5K not only for the exercise but for this great cause.
