Tough guys wear PINK

Today was RACE day... Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. I know that everyone has been affected by breast cancer - an aunt, a grandmother, a friend, a co-worker. In fact, most people know several people that have survived breast cancer. My co-worker, Jordan, is a survivor. In fact, her last chemo was on Cinco de Mayo. If I were her, I would have had one HUGE @$$ margarita that night! Woohoo! She kept an amazing attitude through the whole ordeal. In honor of her, we formed a race team within our pharmacy, Team JoJo! Take a look at the fun we had on race day!


Jordan pushing Kate... I think we gave her fiance, Josh, a heart attack when said she "needed practice." HA!

At this point, Brett was determined that he was pushing his own stroller for the entire race


Kate's ready to race, um, make that ready to ride... all the way to the pink shoes! I made her shirt with an iron-on from Michael's. I made one for Brett, too, that said "Tough Guys Wear PINK". Turns out, the white t-shirt that I used was actually about 2 sizes too small for him! For some ridiculous reason, I assumed it still fit.

Team JoJo crosses the start line!



25,000 people

The 5K course winds you through a residential area... people decorate their houses, their yards, hand out water, set up sprinklers and fans, and generally cheer you on throughout the race. The pictures don't begin to describe how cool it all really is in person.

A local church choir was out there singing in front of their church
