They sent me a pen...

The Susan G. Komen For the Cure organization sent me a pretty black pen with a pink ribbon clip for helping to raise "so much money" last year for the Massachusetts race for the cure in Boston and a refrigerator magnet that says "Run, Walk, Celebrate, Remember."
Who can forget? Not me.
That's for sure.
Yesterday I ran 3.1 miles in 33 minutes at the gym. That's a good time for me. It is less than a month left to go before race day, and I'm pretty much on target with my training. Donations are starting to come in too. I'm about halfway to my goal. It's doable!
One step at a time.
Anyway, the support from everyone means so much. The money goes to help fund screening and treatment for families who are underinsured and to help fund research to find better treatments and nothing less than a cure to END breast cancer FOREVER, something that families will never have to worry about again. I'm all for that!
So when I am on my way this year to "Run, Walk, Celebrate, Remember", I especially choose to remember my aunt (who is unforgettable) naturally, but also I choose to remember to look for the good that our positive actions now can create for other families in the future. That's what fuels this tank!
If you feel moved to help out, point your browser to my pledge page too.
Now, how can I put this pen to good use?








I'm so glad you're doing it again!
Blessings, David
Thanks so much. I will carry those well-wishes with me along the way too!
(…even though my running shorts don’t have pockets!)
