Race for the Cure

When I was in college, I was in a sorority (Zeta Tau Alpha). Every sorority has a philanthropy and ours was the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Given my love for sports, I was the chairman of the ZTA Annual Run for the Cure which was our primary fundraiser for the Komen Foundation. Being the chairman of that race was one of the most rewarding experiences I've had in my life and I've continued to run in the Houston Race for the Cure every year for as long as I can remember.
This year I decided to put together a team to run/walk in the Race for the Cure on Oct. 2 of this year. The team has been formed and is open to anyone to join. The team name is Body Rock Fitness and our original fundraising goal was $500. Our team has been formed for less than a week and we are alreay at over $600! I'm so proud of our team!
It's not too late to join us for the race or support our team with a donation. No donation is too small! If you'd like to join the team and participate in the race or donate, please contact me for details. The race is a 5K (3.2 miles) and you can either run or walk. We'll have a few training runs once school starts and team shirts for race day. This is an incredible opportunity to support an incredible foundation that can affect all of us or someone we know at some point in our lives. Together, we can find a cure for breast cancer!
