Luna’s Landing participated in the first Komen Expo on Saturday and met a lot of wonderful people picking up their Race t-shirts and visiting the exhibits. It was a fun day even though the sun was shining for the first time in weeks and we were inside the exhibition hall. We raised money for Young Survival Coalition and Cancer Lifeline and met many survivors and friends who were gearing up for the Race on Sunday. Darlene Fanus was the lucky raffle winner!

Rain didn’t dampen the enthusiasm or participation for the Race for the Cure. The rivers of pink took over the Seattle Center and race course for a memorable day and the early count is over $1 million dollars raised for Komen! Way to go Seattle.

My friend Tammie volunteered at the Expo and the Tribute Tent where participants placed pictures and names on a wall in honor and celebration of their loved ones touched by breast cancer. Tammie is a vibrant survivor and also a member of the Seattle YSC Affiliate. She recently cut her curly locks and donated the hair to a program to make wigs for others going through treatment. Way to go Tammie!
