Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Walk Las Vegas

Yesterday I had a Blast.  I walked the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure here in Las Vegas May 3rd.  It was at the Fremont Street Experience and I was a Blast.  Since I have been walking for some time,  I wanted to walk the 5k (3.4 miles).  I was able to finish at 1hr and 15 minutes. It was a wonderful to see so many people that were at the event.  I met a couple of survivors of the even and also people who were walking for the memory of a mother, daughter or sister. They had all kinds of pamplets and information on prevention and how to get a breast exam.  After the walk, they had treats from various participating companies.  I was able to grab a couple of fruits, yougurts, ice cream and drink samples.  It was just enough food for everyone. Overall it was just $25.00 to sign up.  I was able to get my t-shirt and number tag for the event.  Everything was very organized and started right on time.  The affairs ended around 10:00 a.m. or so.  It was just nice to help in a cause that effects so many people.   What came to my surprise was how many women who were survivors that were so young (around 30 or so) This is a deadly disease and it is very serious.  It is very important to know that prevention is the key when it comes to Breast cancer.
