2011 will always be a special year to me, because my mother beat breast cancer this year. It was a wonderful victory for her and our family, as hospital visits and sadness swallowed us up for a good part of 2010. <\/p>\n

In her honor, my sister and I formed a Race for the Cure team in 2010, and called ourselves the Portland Pink Sox. We returned this year with a team doubled in size! It was fantastic we had so many people either interested in being a part of our team, but also donating. We raised $500 for the Susan G Komen foundation, and we’re pretty proud of that!<\/p>\n

We met just before the walk kicked off, and before we knew it the streets of Portland were filled with walkers. It was a great sight!

We went out to Shari’s for a team breakfast, where my niece devoured a plate of chicken and waffles! We all got a kick out of her meal of choice

Later that evening Danny’s mom and stepdad took a bunch of us out to a fun dinner at the Thirsty Lion in Tigard. I didn’t get too many pictures from dinner, but here’s one of my sister and I!
