Pink

We didn't do the run, we walked and walked, and walked. But, how silly to make note of the amount of walking when this event was for cancer and walking was the least of the worries for the day.

For some, this was a beginning, their first of many walks as they battle and overcome (hopefully) this disease. For others, as for my friend, Robin, this was a victory walk with 10 of her friends. We metaphorically held hands as we banded together and kept close to a woman who was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2003.

Overcoming and walking cancer free was just one of her successes over the years. For today, my friend, Robin was not only proud to be Mommy of two, loving wife, but she was also the reigning, "International Queen of Hope". Wearing her tiara and sash throughout the walk was a testimony to digging deep when the going gets tough, having faith and loving the color pink!
