Race for the Cure walk

Hi. Anyone going to walk in the Race for the Cure? Oregon is holding its walk in Portland on September 18th, and I am doing the 5K walk. It is only 3 miles, but I couldn't have done it before my surgery. I am thrilled and a little emotional about it too. I am walking in honor of my mom who was a breast cancer survivor, and I am also walking it as a stomach cancer survivor. I had surgery for it a little over a year ago, and I had the added benefit of it being a modified RNY surgery. So far, I have lost about 55 lbs, but I hope to lose another 40. I know that walking and other kinds of exercising have helped me regain my health and energy more quickly. Enjoy the good summer weather, and happy trails! Peg

I do race for the cure every year! I did the 5k Run this year - yes I DO love this surgery! Hugs for you Peg, ~Lara
