Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure has always been a special event for me because Gammie has had breast cancer twice and I know so many amazing women who have been touched by this disease. I have always wanted to be more involved than just running/walking in the race, so this year I got MUCH more involved, and I had a blast!!!
I worked with one of my co-workers at Ericsson and we put together an Ericsson Race for the Cure team. We sponsored the starting line and hosted our own information booth for after the race! There was a lot of coordination, fund-raising, and foot work involved in getting participants, but in the end we had great Ericsson representation. We ended up with over 70 Ericsson participants who either walked or ran in the event and over 45 Ericsson volunteers who passed out water during the race and gave out give-aways at our booth. Also, we raised over $8000!!!
I met quite a few really great women within the SGK organization and I was so proud to have Ericsson involved in such a great cause! I cannot wait for next year’s event!
I also wanted to say THANK YOU to all of my friends who helped me raise money for the cause! You girls are amazing!!!
