Race for the Cure

Andrew and I went down to Salt Lake today to walk in the Race for the Cure. It was SO much fun!! We took Warren and pushed him in the stroller. He was such a good boy and seemed to enjoy being outside. It was an incredible experience. It was so touching to witness a sea of 17,000 people participating in something so important. Almost everyone there had a badge on their back to show who they were racing for. Some were there for survivors, others for someone they lost. Andrew lost an aunt to breast cancer last year. I haven't lost a family member to breast cancer, but I have lost and uncle and grandpa to cancer. I don't know many people that haven't been affected by it in some way. We had such a great time being around the spirit of the survivors. It made me really think about how blessed I am to be so healthy. I had to step back and think about how quickly life can change and that I need to be grateful for every day I am given. I am so glad we went down. It is definitely going to be a new tradition in the Fisher family.
