Pounding the Pavement for Pink in Seymour raises $104,352

Sharing a message from Seymour Pink founder Mary Deming:

6th Annual Pounding the Pavement for Pink 5K was over the top!!
"For the last six years I have failed to find the right words to capture the sights, sounds and the emotions of the 5K. I think in the end it's because words can't define our 5K event. You can only FEEL yesterday! Our 5K has grown incredibly in the last six years not just in number of participants, but in the amount of support and hope and love this community has for those of our loved ones and friends who have heard those words, "You have breast cancer!" 
If anything you were more determined to show breast cancer that it was not in charge of your life. We had 128 breast cancer survivors with us at this year's race. So many came up to me to share what this event meant to them. One woman said, "This is the best medicine for me to beat my breast cancer! I know I can fight this and win because I see so many people here supporting me in the fight!"
Now, with all the bills and invoices in and paid, it is time to share with all of you the profit that Seymour Pink realized as a result of your INCREDIBLE support in ALL you did and ALL you gave to this 5K....we definitely need a drum roll....
$104,352.25 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
There are no words ...just no words...so know this "THANK YOU" is has no boundaries to its depth!"
