All through Saturday’s 17th Annual Sprint for Life Walk / Run I could feel the tears on the edge of my eyes; MaryBeth and I had a challenging cancer year. For many years, I’ve served as the start and finish line announcer working to make participants feel connected and special for supporting ovarian cancer research. Thousands walked / ran the 5K, but it was the Tot (under 3) race where my tears finally followed them down the trail as I prayed we end all cancers today. Hours later, during cleanup a friend turned and said, “It was a good day to be alive”, and I thought it was a good day, filled with the energy and hope to ensure none of the Tots ever face cancer.
