Espoir/Hope

It's Breast Cancer Awareness month in Canada too. Danielle's school participated in a Walk for the Cure in late September by walking around Mont Royal in Montreal.

Kish and fellow baseball moms participated in the Race for the Cure, a city-wide event in Montreal this Sunday. Over 15,000 walked and ran for this cause.

Unfortunately, statistics for this horrible disease are similar in Canada. We do keep in mind that there are fewer people in this country. It's estimated that one in every nine women is expected to develop breast cancer during her life time and one in 28 will die from it.

While walking for a cause is a great time to get together with new friends, we also look forward to the day when we don't have to participate in fundraising walks...in Canada or the U.S.


(We're watching football this Sunday afternoon and pleased to see so much pink at the N.F.L. games!)
