Race For The Cure in Pictures

Saturday, October 20, was the Race For The Cure in Little Rock, and we were out in record numbers! Instead of telling you about the race, I'd rather show you....

Race participant and her Wild Thang!!!

Yes, they decorate the porta potties, and this one was nice inside!

Channel 7 news team cheering us on...

Bikers for boobs!

The firemen always put on a good show for the ladies...

These guys were my favorite of all the Three Mile of Men!
Can you guess who they are???

Going Pink For The Cure

In September, Governor Mike Beebe declared October 7, as Arkansas GO PINK FOR THE CURE DAY, (the 2011 proclamation). It's an effort to get the entire state involved in breast cancer awareness.

I am an advocate and supporter of breast cancer awareness, and any opportunity to color my hair is welcome. Yes, I actually sprayed my hair pink... only the front. And I wore it to work. I got a few odd looks, but not as many as when I wore the pink wig last year.

This year I will miss Arkansas' Race For The Cure, but you don't have to. You still have time to register, and participate. Check out my past post after the 2010 Race For The Cure.

What are you doing to promote breast cancer awareness? There are several ways you can get involved. Start today!

Going Pink For The Cure

This week, Governor Mike Beebe declared October 7, as Arkansas GO PINK FOR THE CURE DAY, (the 2011 proclamation). It's an effort to get the entire state involved in breast cancer awareness.

For the past two years I've worn a pink wig in the Race For The Cure. Last year, I even wore the wig to work the Friday, before the race. Although I'll miss this years race, I will show my support of breast cancer awareness with pink hair. Before I learned of the above proclamation, I found and bought pink hair spray. Yes, pink hair spray!

In stead of a pink wig, MY hair will be pink October 7th. Between now and then, I will work on putting together a nice pink ensemble. Although I get excited about the Race For The Cure, and all the fanfare that goes with it, breast cancer is NOT fun.

Let's keep raising awareness until the mystery of this disease is discovered and eradicated. What are you and/or your community doing to bring awareness to breast cancer awareness?
