On April 21, 2012, we got up bright and early to make our way to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Walk. We have really grown fond of this cause and walking has become a tradition for us. Although we belong to a team, we really only meet them on the day of the race. Mainly, we are just fundraising with them. We did really well with our fundraising goals this year! Each of us made our goal of $100!
We usually start the morning by meeting with our team and having ribbon shaped bagels from Panera. Then we walk around to the many booths and get acquainted with the sponsors and freebies!
Next it is off to get a good place at the start line. This year, we were really close to the beginning, but it was really crowded! We were practically trampled at the start of the race. The front row is reserved for runners, so we stay back a ways since we usually just walk briskly or jog!
It took us a while to complete the full 5K, but we made there! This race is so inspirational and it is great to see all the survivors and supporters! Next to the Shamrock Walk, this is one of our favorite events to do together because it stirs our bodies and our souls.
And what twin day would be complete without a little horsing (elephanting?) around and some toasts to our continued good health and good fortune to have such amazing companions in one another!
Best twin day ever!
