Another successful year at Race for the Cure!

Thank you to all Paint the Town Pink team members and to those that donated this year. A BIG thank you to friends & family that have supported my Mom from beginning to end... We are all cheering her on to win this race against cancer. Together we can help find a cure!

I'll be back in October reminding you to go "Passionately Pink for the Cure" and again in 2009 for the next Race for the Cure.

T-Shirt Pick Up & Race Schedule

I will pick up t-shirts for the entire team on May 28^th. You may either come to my home on May 29^th between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. OR I will have your t-shirt ready for you on race day.

I will be there bright and early waiting for our team. I plan to hold up a sign with our team name “Paint the Town Pink” so that everyone can gather in one spot. For those of you that have registered for the race, I will send an email including the following:

• My cell phone number in case you need to reach me
• My address in case you want to pick your t-shirt before race day
