EIF Revlon 5K - Year 3

Actually, the amount is $2340 and growing! Angela and I were so excited to participate in the EIF/Revlon 5K to fight cancer again this year, our third since we've been in L.A.! Saturday was a glorious day, just a little cool to start but by the end, nearing eighty degrees. We walked with over 30,000 people -- survivors, those left behind, families, kids, celebrities, so many people -- and every step of the way we thought about and prayed for the people we walked for. For the people we support and you support.

I cannot imagine a life with cancer. The struggle. The pain. The tenacity to make it through another day. But I can imagine a life without cancer, a world without cancer. And that's why we walk. For Marilyn. For Grandpa. For each and every single person we love and you love who fights or has fought.

We came home with a few blisters, a little slower step, and two medals. But the reality is we came home simply with hope. When the organizer of the event stood up before the walk and announced that money raised through our efforts has gone to create a new drug that's in trials now, that was amazing. To know that we, us little human beings on this big planet, can affect change? That's what it's all about.

Thank you for donating. Thank you for praying. Thank you for fighting the fight to continue to kick cancer's ass! Together we will!
