It's that time again. NorthPark Mall is a madhouse. But, not with shoppers - with walkers - all with the same goal - to find a cure for breast cancer.
It was a brisk, clear morning. You couldn't ask for better weather. We got there a little earlier this year and we got pretty close to the starting line. We usually get there right when the race starts and it takes us 30 minutes just to get to the starting line. This year, we were on our way in no time.
We try to participate every year and, for the most part, we've been successful. Last year we invited Mom to join us. This year, we invited Dad as well.
Someone was kind enough to take a picture of all of us. So here we are - Team Chaney. I know I'm the odd man out because I'm not wearing the shirt but I never got mine in the mail. So, I had to make due. They let me participate anyway.
Here's Clarice Tinsley (in pink). She's the honorary Chair for the event. She was handing out race towels as we passed under the starting line.
There had to be about 3000 people here.
It was a really good time. We don't get to spend a whole lot of time together as a family. This was a great opportunity because we all got to visit with one another while we were walking.
(When I say "all", I don't mean all 3000 people. Just us 4).
What???? It's only mile 2? It seems like we've been walking forever! At least there's only one mile left.
We made it! We walked for a great cause, spent some family time together, and got a little exercise in. Afterwards, we went and had a delicious breakfast together.
See you next year!!!
