The next day, we prepared for the Race for the cure as we had done in
2005
2004
and
and 2003 . Ed, Jeff and Sarah were ready
as Jeff let out one of his laughs
and then posed with Ben
at which point Steven Just arrived
and Jessie Yu came and posed with Sarah
while the table was set
and the pink M&M's were photographed with flash
and without
before Devon arrived and joined Jessie and Sarah for a photo
and Juliana posed with Sarah
as Jane and Ben got ready to go
which we did after I took this self portrait.
Once there, we followed the parking guide
and left the car
to head across the field to the tents
where we were given this water
from the massive collection
and some donut holes
while the troups gathered at the Panera tent
and the runners assembled after Steven and Jeff had run and while Lizzie was preparing
and Adam and Tony celebrated (either being done with their run or being able to leave the cold and wind to find shelter)
as we passed the porta-potties
as Jane waited in line
until we ran into Lianne and her kids
and saw an amazing collection of pink bracelets for the taking

Meanwhile, Jane was helping Ben put his number on his shirt
as the sign flopped in the air losing names all the while
and Ben's number was finally pinned
at which point we found Sarah
and Juliana
and assembled the group -- Sarah, Juliana, Jessie, Devon and Ed -- for a photo
and then another under the tent
where Ed, Devon, Jessie, Sarah and Juliana were joined by Jane and Ben for this collection of pictures
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and joined the picture.

But now, the real race (ie the walk for the cure) was about to begin and Jane and Ben posed with Ben and Rick Strauss
after which Claire Percarpio, Jane, Audrey and Cara posed
as did Alan and Joel Straus
and then a gathering of Alan, Claire, Jane, Audrey, Cara, Eddie, Joel and Ben as we made our way into the walk
but not until I had replaced Claire in some of the photos.
At the end of the walk, we ran into Ben, Eddie, Joel and the football

|
|

to the car
up the hill
and drove home with Jane showing the emotion
as we got to the last light
and took this artistic photo
of the speedometer
and the radio.
Once at home, Lauri Mulvey, Suzanne and Karen Fuchs were there
as were Nancy and Brad, the new neighbors
and the McCools
as Ira and Paul finally left the dark
for this picture
as Rick and Carol posed
followed by the Rider crowd
who asked me to join them
before I took this self portrait
and then met the new neighbors
who posed with the old neighbors

and this collection of photos of DrLen (aka Mr. Lennie) and Judy

The day done, Ed and Sarah
and Suzanne were showing the effects as they rested for the next Race for the Cure.
