I formed a team for the 2011 Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Baton Rouge on behalf of my mom. I can't believe it has taken me 5 years to finally do this, but I'm so glad it's finally happening. All I want is for my family and friends to come together and honor her for everything she was. She gave all that she had to fight breast cancer for as long as she did, and I just want to be as giving as she was. All the money raised will go to the Baton Rouge affiliate of Susan G. Komen in my mom's name.
If you would like to join my team and/or help raise money in her honor, please visit http://batonrouge.info-komen.org/site/TR/RacefortheCure/BTR_BatonRougeAffiliate?team_id=151684&pg=team&fr_id=2003
The team name is Ginger's Wish and the race is February 19, 2011 at LSU's Old Front Nine. There is a 5k for anyone who can go the distance, and a one-mile fun run for those of you who would like to take it slow. I would like to get tents to set up on the day of the race with all of my mom's favorite food and music. I want it to be a fun day of remembrance, so please consider joining me and my family. We could use all the support we can get!
