Susan G. Komen RACE FOR THE CURE (Phoenix, AZ)

I woke up Sunday morning prepared for an emotionally challenging, tearful event. . . what I experienced instead was incredibly inspiring & full of hope!

Hired by Be Heard Public Relations (thanks Brandye & Sarah!), it was such a rewarding experience to participate in an event that doesn't focus on the loss & fear so many know because of cancer, and instead brings thousands of people together all proclaiming "I AM THE CURE"!

Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure was held on the Arizona State Capitol's property Sunday morning, October 11. I believe it was estimated that over 30,000 people attended the run, which started with registration at 6:00am. It was great to be outside in a sea of people as the sun started to rise! The morning was filled with sponsor speakers, special walks & runs, and almost everyone in the crowd showing respect for the cause with pink shirts & accents!

Stephanie Foxx was recently diagnosed with cancer, and is a local musician in Phoenix. With the support of her family & friends she is not only fighting cancer, but also inspiring others & raising money... Drum out Cancer is her organization, and she is truly amazing!

Race for the Cure is an event that offers HOPE!
