The EIF Revlon Run/Walk for Women 5k is a bi-coastal event. Over 40,000 people gathered in Times Square and walked through Central Park last week for the EIF Revlon Run/Walk for Women 5k in New York.
The race started in front of Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum at Exposition Park.
Confetti showered us as we crossed the Start Line.
It was not about who crossed the finish line first or trying to PR. It was truly about helping to raise money to fund cancer research and deliver treatments and services to under-served women.
Participants pinned personalized tribute signs to the back of their shirts with the words 'in memory of', 'i am...a cancer survivor' or 'in support of'.
One couple walking in front of us had tribute signs. His sign said 'My girlfriend is a cancer survivor' and her sign said 'Cancer free for 5 years!!'.
The Finish Line was actually inside the Coliseum. We were funneled through a tunnel and into the center.
Cancer survivors received a rose after they finished. There was also a Survivor Hospitality Tent where they could get special commemorative survivor photographs.
Congrats on your medal and doing it for the cause! I don't know anyone whose lives have not been turned upside down by Cancer.
