As you're probably well aware, October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. At the risk of exposing you all to even more pink ribbons (or, for American football fans, pink cleats and mouthpieces), we would like to encourage you to donate to and/or volunteer for one of the many organizations fighting and/or researching cancer (see a list of the ones we particularly support at right). Many of you have already made a donation to one of these organizations in Panagiota's name (see the list recognizing those individuals at right), which we greatly appreciate. If you are asked whether you are running/donating/volunteering on anyone's behalf, we would be very touched if you would say that you are doing so for Panagiota. If you do run/donate/volunteer, please be sure to let us know so we can help sing your praises.
And now, to add some levity to what would otherwise be a decidedly serious post, below is an excerpt from our family blog, The Alexanderpools, from when Pegs and I participated in our local Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure last year; I think that it really reflects Pegs' wit and spirit:
At the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure 5k, after the MC introduced a local TV anchor:
Pegs: Yeah, that's why I came: for the celebrities.
