On June 22 over 45,000 men, women, and children woke up early on a muggy Saturday morning
and converged on downtown St. Louis. Each had their own personal stories about why they were there but there was a common
thread in all the stories...Breast Cancer. Some were there because they had a family member or friend diagnosed
with Breast Cancer but all were there in hopes of a future free of Breast Cancer.
In 2001 iVillage sponsered teams around the US for the Race for the Cure. This year we approached
them and asked them if we could walk as Team iVillage again. They were amazing, as usual, and said we could and sent
us t-shirts. Because of the insane traffic our group has never been able to walk together but we had a great number
of participants walking on their own. I hope to add pictures of each participant in their snazzy looking iVillage shirt
soon!
