Kansas City Race For The Cure
So, I just got my info in the mail yesterday about this year's race for the cure. I just wanted to throw the idea out for anyone in the Kula that might want to run, walk or stroll in the race with me this year. Last year was very packed with people but also very uplifting.
Just let me know if any are interested and we can come up with a "Kul" name for out team!!
Details
August 13 (Sunday)
7Am is the warm up
entry fee $25.00
Deadline to enter as a team July 31st

Dannie, Avery and I particapated last year and Dannie walked for our friend Barb Grabill (survivor) Avery walked for his friend's Grandma Marianne Mayernik (survivor) and I ran for my dear friend JoAnne Mancini who lost her 8 year battle in August of 2003. I ran in full make up and earrings at 7AM as a reminder of how JoAnne was always so beautifully put together and she would yell at me if I didn't have lipstick and earrings on!!
Who will you walk for???
Love
Michelle

I can't run that morning because I'm leading a meditation class BUT I would love to offer a post-race yoga class for everyone who runs. And of course I'll do it for ASHLEY!!!!!
I would like to run or walk that race...and I have some non-kula friends who'd probably like to join in. It would be awesome to then come out to Gina's and do yoga. So, count me in, Michelle, and I will let you know if one or two others join me. I'll walk for myself, obviously, but also for my mother -- who I hope will join us for both the walk and the yoga!
Also, so funny that you mention your friend's commitment to lipstick and earrings...I'm not a huge makeup fan, but I always (and I mean ALWAYS, even when running the marathon) wear lipstick. I have, for some reason, held on to that practice even while bald! And, since all my surgeries are finally complete (including the removal of my chemotherapy port), I got to have my earrings put back in (I wear the kind someone "installs" so I don't have to mess with changing them all the time). It's crazy, but for some reason I feel more feminine with lipstick and earrings...even without hair!
