+tsunrisebey Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 Thanks for the well wishes, what a beautiful day to walk/jog/run. There was a huge turn-out; a few thousand people. What an eye-opener and I'm really glad I did it My feet are pretty sore, I trained on a dirt road and then ran on asphalt so I didn't take that into consideration when training. The last mile they were feeling kinda numb but I finished Here are some pictures from the Race for the Cure event here in Helena. Figured I'd share my day with you Thanks again everyone for the support and the pink tatankas will be taken care of when I come home from GW6 Montana Capitol where the race began on the back side and ended at the front. Race for the Cure finish line The Survivors line up on the steps to have their photo taken. Then the crowd sings 'Wind Beneath my Wings' to them. Front and Back of my shirt. Stinky now Quote Link to comment

+gardengorilla Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Way to go Steph! I bet you're glad it's over. Now you can eat Nutella to your hearts' content! A big thank you for putting Aunt Mary-Jean's name on your shirt as well...by a coincidence today at our garage sale a lady came in to look at all my hair products. She said her hair came in different after chemo and that brought me back to the first time Auntie finished chemo and her hair started growing back. Just little things like that remind me. Anyway, relax and stetch it out...a good footrub/hottub does wonders as well. Quote Link to comment

+Geo.Error Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 (edited) I want to share some very good news My cancer is evil coin was spreading awareness about the netherlands ROPARUN Now the good news, this run has collect 4.318.783 euro WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTT Here some information about the race The Roparun is the longest non-stop relay race in the world: it's not only a unique running event but also has a unique goal: "Aiming to add life to the days that remain, when no more days can be added to life" In 1992, the RO(tterdam) PA(ris) RUN was born. And it came about as the result of a bet! In that first year, 13 teams took part and together they managed to raise 100,000 Dutch Guilders (45,000 Euros). The organisation of the event was in the hands of a small group of volunteers. In fact, the intention was for a one-off event, but that was not to be the case. The first time was such a success that a follow up was inevitable. For the first four years the event remained relatively small, and was organised on a purely voluntary basis. However, as the event grew, there was a need for an office with paid staff - even though everything had to be done low budget. There are currently 250 volunteers working for the Roparun Foundation, with an additional permanent group of 50 volunteers, who are constantly busy dedicating time and energy to the planning and organisation of this event. Tasks undertaken by the volunteers include: planning and organisation of the run maintenance and furnishing of bungalows organsiation of monthly team meetings for participants information and motivation of teams for fund raising activities public relations and provision of information recruitment of sponsors for the organisation itself Roparun 2008 Roparun is an abbreviation of Rotterdam - Paris- RUN. The Roparun is the longest non-stop relay race in the world; the route covers approximately 530km. When it began, in 1992, the race started on the Coolsingel in Rotterdam and finished in the airport area Le Bourget in the 'city of lights', Paris. Since 2004 the route has gone in the other direction, starting in Paris and finishing in Rotterdam. The Roparun 2008 starts 10 and 11 Mai in Paris with the Finish 12 Mai in Rotterdam The Roparun will continue to start in Paris and finish in Rotterdam. The official timing also takes place on the Coolsingel, after which the entire team can enjoy a warm welcome in Rotterdam followed by an After Party. In 2008 the closing ceremony takes place on Mai 30, where the total amount raised will be announced, and the 3 teams with the highest amount collected will be honoured.

+tsunrisebey Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Ok, gonna start sending out a coin to my official entries. I'll probably send them out in small groups each week, to help spread out the cost of mailings, so be patient while I work through these. I'll be contacting you for mailing addresses if I don't have yours. tsun Quote Link to comment

+mousekakat Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Today I received a really cool log on my coin that is travelling in honor of my cousin, Jenny.... You are receiving this email because you are the owner of this listing. plantendokter discovered In memory of Jenny Hughey, Find the cure! (Cacher Geocoin) at 7/25/2008 Log Date: 7/25/2008 When we found this coin with the photo of Jennifer, it made us realize that we ourselves have to be glad to be healthy. Hopefully, a cure for breastcancer will be found in the future. We will launch the coin soon in the Netherlands. Plantendokter.
