Living and Working in Northern Nevada - Race for the Cure



My daughter and I participated with some great folks in the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure , this morning. The Keller Williams team walking in the event in Reno was depleted due to some flu season casualties, but our group still represented and had a great time doing it.


This great event was held this year at the University of Nevada at Reno campus and thousands braved the fall cold to support this fabulous cause. While the morning was brisk, the weather ended up being much milder than forecasted, which had called for cold, wind and snow!

The Race for the Cure is part of the nation wide activities for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it raises money to fund breast cancer research. The survivor stories were heart wrenching, but the overall atmosphere is one of hope and energy!!! While Reno is really a tiny city, it never fails to move me to see it open it's tremendous heart to help.
