During the event, survivors ran down their special, set-aside-just-for-them, finish chute, grinning and running. Brought tears to my eyes, more than once, I can tell you. Lots and lots of survivors and those who love and support them.

A break from MOPAR and the family and friends in PDX for some photos from Portland's Race for the Cure, during the event, a few of the survivors
Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I think it's about time I share some photos that I took on Sunday, September 18, alongside Tom McCall Waterfront Park on Naito Parkway. There were all sorts of races, timed, not timed, running, walking, different distances. Huge, huge crowd--more than 35,000 participants.

It's a terrific generational event from kiddies to grannies. Just shows how important awareness, contributions, involvement, and research are and how they all can be combined.
