The Madison Race for the Cure is about a month away... so do your part to help find a cure by signing up with Team Paint the Town Pink or making a donation to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for the Cure.
Visit this post for more information on how you can register or this link to donate only.
I look forward to Race day and appreciate all that have registered and donated so far!
In the meantime, here are a few other programs that benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Give a Pink Ribbon Gift Card from Coldwater Creek. They’re pretty and pink, and they share the hope for a cure. Purchase a pink ribbon Gift Card, and Coldwater Creek donates 10% of the amount to Komen. Buy a plastic gift card or an E-Gift card.
Words for the Cure Book This special collection of comforting words offers unique insights and reflections good for every occasion, especially for anyone facing a breast cancer diagnosis.
With Mother's Day approaching as well, you can also order Mother's Day tribute cards directly from the Komen Marketplace online. Please order by May 11th to ensure timely delivery.
Our team is growing, slowly... so I encourage you to pass this website on to friends and family who may like to participate in Race for the Cure.
You can view the current team roster on the left hand side of this webpage. KEEP IT UP and let's GROW our team!
UPDATE: We have 16 team members and $40.00 in donations. Details on how to register for our team can be found HERE. You can donate using the links I've provided as well in place of registering OR in addition to registering.
If the weather is anything like last year for Race for the Cure, we might all need to order a set of these boots!

I established team Paint the Town Pink in October 2006 for a fundraiser called Passionately Pink for the Cure. We raised $2,806.04 for the Komen Foundation and I intend to participate in this fundraiser every year.
I resumed the "team" when I noticed that Race for the Cure was going to be held in Madison on June 2, 2007.
Personally I am doing this for my Mom who was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer in August of 2006. We lost her on March 7, 2010 - so we must press on without her physically. But her spirit remains in all of us - and together we will help find a cure!
So, that is MY reason for supporting the Komen Foundation ... what is YOURS?
