My grandma Barbara drove over from Eastern Oregon with her lifelong friend Nancy and Nancy's daughter Kim to Central Oregon to participate in a 5K walk to raise money for breast cancer research and awareness. My grandma Barbara and Aunts Kimberly and Heather along with me and my mom, walked with Nancy and her daughter's Kim and ShanRae - and of course my boyfriend Grayson (born January 14th, 2008). The walk was also to honor survivors and those loved ones who lost their lives to cancer. We all walked with Kim who is a survivor of Hodgkins Lymphoma. We also walked to honor the memory of many friends and family members who lost their lives to cancer including: my grandpa Richard 1991, my great grandmother Louine 1972, my great great Aunt Norma 1985, Mary O'connell 1991, and several friends and family members who are cancer survivors: Great Great aunt Lois, my great Aunt Marjorie, Great Uncle Tom and grandpa Dave. It was a great day of celebration and humility.
