Race For The Cure 2006
Family and Friends,
It is time, once again, for the Portland Susan G Komen Race for the cure! This year my grandmother wanted to put together a team… with faerie theme! We would love to have you come walk with us in wings. Halloween is just around the corner, so it is a perfect time to keep your eyes out for those wings and anything pink.
For those of you that cannot walk with us this year, you can still sign up and donate in memory of a loved one or in celebration of a survivor. In other words, “Sleep In For The Cure!”
Time is running out- team registration deadline is August 30!!! Sorry for the late notice- This is our first time forming a team and I thought we had more time! If you register after that you will just have to sign up as an individual, but you can still walk with us of course. Individual registration can be done up until the morning of the race, though the fee is a little more on the day of the event.
Fortunately there is more time to get your pink things and wings together! Race for the Cure takes place September 17 at Waterfront Park in Portland. We are doing the 5k co-ed walk beginning at 9:00am. Fee is $25 for adults, $10 under 12, and Free for children 5 and under, but they still need to register for a shirt. I believe everything else you need to know can be found on the website where you will register.
You can also get to this page from the main site
Click on “Form a Team.” The team name is “Feather Grandma’s Faeries.”
Remember to select one of three “5K Walk” options (determined by age), unless you are unable to walk and want select “Sleep in for the Cure” at the bottom.
We will have a brunch on Saturday, the day before the walk to pass out team shirts and share and exchange pink things. This will be a good time to get together and meet our amazing surviving ladies, and friends and family on the team. I will keep you posted on the time and details of Saturday morning brunch as they materialize.
Let me know if you have any questions- and remember the deadline for online registration is midnight, August 30.
Fun times!
