This year again I have to write how proud I am of the people of Denver. Over 63,000 walked/ran in the Race For The Cure yesterday (this is my 2nd race since being diagnosed almost 2 yrs ago). It's an amazing thing to see all those people, and every one there is supporting someone. I so encourage all of us to do this. You don't have to walk if you don't have the energy or strength. They have pedicabs that will give you a ride, or you can go down and simply enjoy and be a part of the ceremony. It is so inspiring and uplifting. And to see all the survivors gives us all hope. Love and Peace to all, Jud

    Hi g/f! Been meaning to e-mail you...haven't been to this site for a while, but something brought me here and then I see your post! I walked this race for the first time ever and it was truly amazing. Loved walking down the "exit" ramp and seeing all the bodies in front of me and all the ones behind me and coming over the viaduct...people as far as one could see. It is truly amazing how the people around here turn out for this event and seeing families walking with their kids, husbands and even dogs! It felt so good to make it across the finish line too, which I had my doubts about...but I did it. My family walked with me and so did my survivor friend and her family. After the walk, we went to breakfast and I had a lady approach me as we were waiting to be seated. She came up to me and shook my hand, congratulated me on being a survivor and asked how many years it had been. I told her "one". She then told me she was approaching her fifth year, so I congratulated her too. Amazing how going thru something like breast cancer can bring strangers so close together...totally awesome, huh!
