day 374 - run for the cure sunglasses

today, i received a gift from the canadian breast cancer foundation, for simply fundraising more than $300 last october during the annual run for the cure. this is a lovely pair of sunglasses from eyewear pink, something something. i'm pretty sure it will see a lot of use during the summer. and of course i shall wear it on run day in october.

day 238 - run for the cure 2010

today, for the seventh year, my sister and i joined the "run for the cure" event, a fundraising for breast cancer. we do this every year in memory of a young woman named Sarah Navarro who suffered and died from breast cancer in the early 90's. 28 years old, the only breadwinner of a poor family in the philippines and her life was snuffed so suddenly.

and how pathetic is it that, during the walk i was snapping pictures. and just when we got to the last leg of the walk, my camera's batteries died and i was left with just memories in my head. note to self: bring extra batteries next year.
