The Susan G. Komen foundation sponsors a HUGE event in Denver each year called the Race for the Cure.  This organization raises money to fight breast cancer, and is especially active in providing mammograms for under or uninsured women.  I participated in the event 4 years ago when I was still in chemo and all I can say is it is very moving.  My friend Sue organized a large team called Barb's buddies and we all walked together.

This year I've been debating about going. While it is an amazing and worthwhile event, it is also a complete and total zoo.  Today however, I proudly was able to participate today as a volunteer for a couple of hours.  My friend Andy is very active and committed to this organization.  In addition to running his own successful web design business and being a kick butt back country athlete, he designs and maintains the Komen-Denver site.  I was glad to lend a hand at the booth set up this afternoon.  Here is a shot of Andy standing proudly in front of a banner he designed.

I'm crossing my fingers and toes that tomorrow will be a typical lovely Colorado fall day, and all the snowy cold stuff that has been predicted will bypass the area.  I hope the event is a marvelous success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
