So we all know that I am a big advocate for Breast Cancer awareness and Research. At work I asked my co-workers and the parents in my program to save the pink
Yoplait yogurt lids so that I could send them in. They looked at me like I was crazy and asked me why. I told them about my aunt's battle with breast cancer and the promise I made her. This was weeks ago. I did not think anyone remember that. Boy was I wrong.
Today as the parents where coming in one of the mom's stopped me and handed me an envelope. I looked at her in surprise and she looked at me and said "Open it". I did and there staring back at me where 26 pink yogurt lids. She had gone home and collected all these lid. "Para tu tia" she told me. I was some how able to thank her and when I looked up, I saw a line of parent all of them with envelopes in their hands. Each envelope held pink yogurt lid, all of the lids were collect " para mi tia" I could not speak, I was overwhelmed with emotion and all I could do was nod and whisper "gracias" as an other parent handed me an envelope.
Oh goodness here I am tearing up as I write this. It was just beautiful. I cant even express how much that meant to me. As I sit here now I wish I would have taken a picture of it to send to mi tia so she could have seen how complete strangers did something so beautiful in her honor.
Yesterday
Nataly, Nataly's Mom, Magarita and I participated in the 14th annual Race for the Cure.
Denver's Race for the Cure is the largest in the nation. 65,000 people came out on a cold and cloudy Sunday morning for a good cause. Like the last time I was there it was an amazing experience. It still ranks as one of the best experiences in my life. I am glad that Nataly and my aunts were able to come with me this year. A few of my family members have already told me that next year they are going to going as well.
I took my camera with me because Nat and I are going to make an album for my aunt and send it to her.

The reason why Denver is number one for the last three years.

The coolest fairy's I have ever seen.
That sign is the reason why I do this.
