Walking in the Rain

Even a little rain didn't dampen our spirits for the Susan G. Komen Walk. The day was first overcast, and then just rainy, but it was a great feeling to be part of thousands of people walking to help find a cure for breast cancer. Our team is "Lights of Nodome." Ndome was a dear friend of one of my colleagues -- who organizes the team in her friend's memory. Tragically, Ndome died several years ago in her late thirties. We walked today with her parents and her ten-year old daughter.

Our team -- minus Buttercup. I am the photographer. 

Thousand of walkers on Central Park West, the street where the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade begins.

The walk continued through Central Park.

This cute sweetie-pie, with her dad, is the youngest member of our team!

Thanks, dear friends, for your support for this terrific cause. I so appreciate the contributions from friends all over the country. In the interest of full disclosure, I only did two miles of the three-mile walk. I was delighted that I could do two miles and still be ambulatory this evening. I have an ankle problem and missed last year's walk because I was in the midst of physical therapy. Thankfully, I was able to do more than I anticipated and am hoping that next year I may be able to do the whole walk. Of course I pray for a time when this walk won't be needed any longer. 

Take good care, dear blog friends, and have a blessed week!
