Time running out to register for Pounding the Pavement for Seymour Pink

Sharing from Seymour Pink founder Mary Deming:


Hello 5K Runners and Walkers!

There is GOOD news and BAD news.


Our 5K registration for this year’s POUNDING the PAVEMENT for PINK has been off the charts!
As you know, we said we would cap the 5K at 2,600 runners/walkers or Sept. 22, whichever came first?

Well there is good news and bad news.

The good news is we are very close to 2,600, the bad news is we will close all registration at 11:59 p.m. this Wednesday, Sept. 13.

IF YOU have NOT registered for this year's 5K and are planning on doing so...time is RUNNING OUT!

Awards for “Most Team Members” in Individual/Family and Business/ Organization” categories, will be determined at the end of registration on Sept. 13.

HOWEVER, all donations made until Sept. 22., will continue to count toward “Most Monies Raised” awards for individual and for teams.

Also, although donations made after Sept. 22 will not count toward 5K awards, we will gratefully accept all online donations until Oct. 26, 2017.

PLEASE share with all who may not have signed up yet for this year’s 5K but are planning to do so; TIME is RUNNING OUT!  

THANK YOU for your support in the FIGHT against breast cancer!


Recuperation journey: Sending prayers

Sending prayers and positive thoughts to the residents of Florida, southern Georgia, South Carolina, and everyone unlucky enough to be in the path of Hurricane Irma.


I can't imagine what they will be going through later today as Irma makes landfall.

I'm up early watching the TV coverage. Thank you, anti-rejection meds, for all the tossing and turning fun I've been having lately. 
It's about 5:45 a.m. as I write this, but I'm thankful all I'm dealing with is insomnia.

Being home, and not in a shelter with thousands of other people awaiting the brunt of a Category 3 or 4 hurricane, is something for which I am grateful.
