2009 Richmond Race for the Cure

May 9th

Registration Now Open!

Hi there! It’s that time of year again!!! Already!!! Most of you know
the scoop here, but there are a few who don’t, so forgive me while I sum it
all up….I am a Breast Cancer survivor, and I organize a large team each
year for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. I was diagnosed in 2005,
and our first race team was formed in May 2006. In each of the last three
races, our team, Racing for Renee (now called Racing WITH Renee) has had a
membership of over 150 people, and we have raised over $22,000 to date in
support of the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

Please visit my race page at
http://www.komenrichmond.org/goto/ReneeWinckler to see my story.

Please e-mail me if you have any questions, about the race or about Breast
Cancer itself. I’m pretty wide-open about my experience….anything for
education! Thanks so much for your time! Hope to see you at the race!!

Renee Winckler

JohnH,
I have to agree, Renee does a much better job than you ever could.
