Lending HOPE a Hand

And 78 "Leggs" too!
By Sunday morning, "Susan Gregg's Leggs" was 78 members strong!! 60 of whom made it to the Race. The morning was busy and fun and I think very encouraging to my Mom!
She has 12 pink necklaces because that is how many years she has been a "Survivor!"My Dad and Mom. She calls him her "Co-Survivor." They've been married 33 years. True Love.
My Mom is such an inspiration to me. Before, during, and after cancer. We talk daily, and see each other almost as often. I am so blessed to have her 2 blocks away. She is always willing to go the extra mile for her friends and family. When I grow up, I want to be just like her!
The Burns Family
Uncle Andy and Aunt Adrie (and Megan, Molly & Vivi) with Adrie's Mom, Diane - who is also a Breast Cancer Survivor.
My Mom with some of her closest friends. Laurel, Jodi, Jiffy and Judy.
Uncle TJ and Erin ran both with the girls in the Fun Run and in their own 5K!
These 3 are Best Friends and Semi-Pro Racers! Remember the PCRF Run? Megan, Vivian, and Molly were SO excited for their race.
And seriously RAN about 90% of their 1K Fun Run. A lot of which was uphill. I was very impressed! Vivi's parents, Eric and Suzanne are behind them. Along with TJ, Erin, and Daddy with Wyatt in the jogger.
There were over 45,000 people registered for the race. They announced when we were running that over 3 million dollars had been raised already!! Feel the Love.
After the Fun Run, Daddy ran in the 5K pushing Megan and Molly in the jogger.
I stayed behind at the tailgate because our littlest member was pooped! I think this was my Mom's favorite part of the morning.

To Everyone who helped make Susan Gregg's Leggs a success - I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Family...friends...family of friends...friends of family. Near, Far, and Virtual. The list goes on and on. I was overwhelmed by the support we received! We are truly blessed to have each and everyone of you in our lives. This is what life - and love - is all about.

Race Prep Sneak Peak

Yes...it's 12:25 am and I am up blogging.

I am getting up to go to the Race at 5am.
Here is a little sneak peak of what I stayed up doing.
Because an event is not an event unless I bake!
Can't wait to share more pics of the day with you.
Thanks for all your support, prayers, and well wishes!

Fight Like A Girl!

"Susan Gregg's Leggs" is over 70 members strong! Almost TRIPLE the goal I set at the beginning. To date, we have raised over $3000 for Breast Cancer research. You can still join our team by clicking the pink "Race for the Cure" button to the right. Once on the team page, click "Join Our Team" at the top and follow the steps. Donations can be made all the way until mid October in Susan Gregg's name. Click the pink "Race for the Cure" button to the right and then select "General Team Donation" on our team page. Thanks again for all your support! The response to the team has been both encouraging and heartwarming. It's so great for my Mom to "Feel the Love!"

The time has come! Please join my family in celebrating our Mom and her fighting spirit as she battles Breast Cancer for the second time. Come race with us on Sunday, September 28th in the Susan G. Koman Race for the Cure - Orange County! Let's transform how the world talks about and treats this disease, and help turn millions of breast cancer patients into breast cancer survivors! If each Team member raises just $100 – The OC Race for the Cure has the potential to raise more than $2 million in pledge funds! At $100 per mammogram, imagine how may lives we could touch...

I have created a team in my Mom's honor named "Susan Gregg's Leggs" and have set goals of raising at least $2500 and a team of 25 members.

There is something for everyone on Race Day. The events begin at 7:30AM at the Pacific Life Building in Fashion Island (700 Newport Center Drive, NB 92660). I will be running in the Women's 5K and the kids are going to participate in the 1K Fun Run. Your registration fee includes a Team T-shirt and bib # that I will distribute before the race. We are also planning on having a tailgate area where we can all meet for pictures, refreshments, and motivation. Mom plans on being in the tailgate area the morning of the race, her health permitting.

If you can't make it on Race Day, you can still be a part of Team "Susan Gregg's Leggs!" You can register to be a "Sleeping In" participant and your team T-shirt and bib# will be mailed to you or you can choose to make a donation in Susan Gregg's name on the Team's web page. Either way, you will be helping us reach our goals!

I will be sending out more information as the event draws near. Let me know if you have any questions!

Team Registration Deadline is September 12th, so make a difference today! Click the "Race for the Cure" icon at the top of the blog to go to Team "Susan Gregg's Leggs" Web page. Register for the Race, make a donation...every little bit helps! Thank You in advance for all your support!
