We were first timers to the race this year. What an amazing feeling to be able to run a race for this nightmare that plague some women. I was honored to do this along with my daughter, her best friend and my best sister in law....finished around 35 minutes, didnt really care of my time just wanted to complete this great race. It was a beautiful morning and we raced this for all the women who couldnt. Kelly Williams
