momsie

This weekend ... was incredible.

To be more specific... my Momma is incredible.

This weekend was the Race for the Cure in OKC, and I had the pleasure of trying to keep up with Momsie in the 5k. She tore it up! Seriously, she whoop-ed us all. Just like she whoop-ed her cancer.

To re-cap - Mom was diagnosed in March. Had a double-mastectomy in April.
60-ish days later, reconstruction. Then a few complications caused a few more surgeries. And those surgeries caused a few complications.

But the most important part of all this - Momma beat her cancer. And she did it with such grace... such faith... and such determination. Mom had cancer, but the cancer never had Mom. She is an inspiration to everyone around her. In short, she is AMAZING.

So back to the Race. Mom whoop-ed us. She had quite the fan-club join her in the Race ... our family and friends rallied around her to celebrate her survivorship. We even had shirts made as a surprise to her.

She loved them.

Here are some pics from the event ...



There were so many people there!



I'm SO proud of you!



Here is Mom whoop-ing us. She's in the pink ... and we were so far behind her.



Part of the fan-club. Thanks for supporting her!




We LOVE you Momsie!

 It was so emotional to see all of the survivors wearing pink, and so fun to see all of the shirts people had made either in memory of or in celebration of someone they loved who had been touched by this disease.  If you've never experienced Race for the Cure - DO IT. Seriously.
Breast Cancer affects so many women every year. It is so important to be aware of this disease ... Please support the BCRF, Susan G. Komen, and anything else that brings funds or awareness to this disease that affects so many each day, each week, each month and each year.
