Jug day was a huge success! Needless to say, the Komen race was overwhelming, and big, and happy, and fun...our little jug team raised somewhere around $1600, not bad for a first go at this!
I think one of the more emotional elements from that day for me was the number of people, number of survivors, and number of people walking for those who didn't survive the disease. Too many....across the board...too many...it was hard to look around and not think, oh my God, this is how big this disease is...this is what I've survived, and this is what I have to survive for...only cried once... :)
The finish line was a blast, metaphorically, and literally...anyone who makes it through chemo, radiation and surgery should get a medal and some hubbub, dammit! Eileen's brunch was great - she went overboard, b/c that is what she does, and it was yummy, fun, overwhelming [I know that word keeps popping out, but it seems to be the only one that suits] and a fantastic start to a new year for me...it marks the time for my cancer year to be over, and my survivor's years to begin. Never hurts to mark such an occasion with friends, family, sweets, flowers, and Bellinis!
Here are some pictures from the day, if you are a facebooker, find me there too!
