It's back, for it's 12th year! It is THE Cinco de Mayo run--there's only ONE. It's not just a themed run, it's a HUGE PARTY in downtown Portland. While I'm really excited about how much FUN it's going to be, I'm also incredibly proud to be participating in an event that benefits Breast Friends, a resource that supports women with cancer, because this week an amazing woman passed away after cancer spread aggressively throughout her body. She was a beautiful person who embodied kindness, and strength, and goodness--she was so good at making people feel welcome. This Sunday, I'll run in celebration of her life, and for all of the other women fighting cancer.
