DAY 7: The Race to Save Second Base

Ever since "Holly" from 6th grade I have kind of had a thing for second base. So saving second base is an easy thing to get motivated to do. Most people have been affected at some level by breast cancer. A wife a daughter, a sister, an aunt a grandmother someone has been a affected. Every year thousand of supporters "racers" dawn their pink and RACE FOR THE CURE. Since 1993 over 19 communities have raised in excess of $10 Million of research money to win our fight against the disease. For anyone who has not been a part of the race is is very touching. Music is played on every corner. Vendors come out with their support. Pink shoelaces, hats, shirts, shorts, tu-tus, sweatbands, backpacks, dog collars and even hair can be seen as a living sea as the runners move through downtown Denver and around Envesco Park at Mile High. This year was no different. The best thing to know is that we are not alone in this endeavor. In most communities across the nation a similar "race" happens. All for the better good. I truly admire the organizers, the vendors, the racers and of course the survivors that make this annual showing.
