Everyone needs a cause!
My cause is the Breast Cancer issue.
I am a survivor and support the cure for this disease, but yesterday, hubby and I went with my daughter to support another cause. We volunteered, helping with the race entrant bib pickup for our local
Shamrock Run. There were over 32,000 entrants to the run/walk that will be held tomorrow, Sunday, in the downtown area of Portland Oregon. I love this because it is for the children too! Runners and walkers of every capability are included! YAY!
The thing I like about this run is that the proceeds go to another charity that I also support--The
Doernbecher Children's Hospital Portland Oregon (pronounced simply Dornbecker). Our grand daughter has been treated there for a serious rare disease and she has had awesome care! Awesome doctors, awesome staff! She's doing well, now; isn't she cute?!
So this is a BIG THANK YOU to everyone participating in tomorrows race. And a thank you to all the sponsors! Here's just a few pictures from last years event so you will get the flavor of the day!
Thanks to everyone!
P.S. Hop on over to Beverly's blog to see what others are posting for St. Paddy's Day.

Neat post and I wish it all great success.
I too am a big supported of BCR - my best friend in the entire world died from that dreaded disease, at the age of 42.
I am praying for a cure daily.
Keep on living, I am glad to know you are a survivor - praying for you, too.
Happiest of SPD to you and yours.
