She’s My Wingman

April 26, 2008 I like to help out when I can. Also, lately I’ve been trying to be healthier by getting fit. So I’ve been running and joined a volleyball league. Running isn’t easy for me yet, so it definitely helps to have a concrete object to work toward. So when a new friend of mine Erika Hargadine asked me several weeks ago to be on her team for the Race for the Cure, I told her I would. What’s is this event about? In a word: breasts. Need a few more? Health. Life. It’s about ending breast cancer through research, and help those who have it to afford treatment for it. It touched my mom and it touched Erika, both of whom are survivors. Not everyone is so lucky. When I told Erika I planned on it, it was just a promise. Today, I’m officially signed up. There are multiple events you can participate in, but I will be participating in the Co-ed 5K run/walk as part of a Erika’s team “She’s My Wingman“. As a participant, my objective is to raise $150. If you’d like to help by contributing, that would be great! If you can help me meet the goal of $150, I’ll add $200 to the total pot.
