Title: Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Concord N.H. ( updated with pics )
Post by: Blazin on October 17, 2010, 06:05:15 pm

Had a great day with about 5,000 plus other people that have in one way or another been touched by breast cancer. Very emotional when the survivors walked down the center aisle, my sister Marg in that group. My other sister Kat and her team responsible for the awesome wall quilt, and balloon sculptures.
All total over a half million dollars was raised!

We were at the tail end of the group. This is what 5,000 plus people look like walking down Clinton St. in Concord N.H.:

Save the tatas ;D. But something that does tick me off about companies that put a little pink ribbon on the yogurt and say they will donate money to Susan g Komen foundation. I can understand them doing it once a year but to me its obvious they don’t care about it they just know how much it boost there sales then everyone else jump on now every yogurt company has the little pink lids or ribbons on them. On my wife’s side both her grandmothers are survivors and my wife went to west VA. To walk with her grandmother and she also said it was touching to see everyone there.

I read that yesterday. What a bunch of crap!
 If I was a coach of the kids that would be playing in those games I would get together with the other coaches, and approach the players about a boycot! That would make the officials look real good!!!
