And this has nothing to do with makeup but recently I did a 5k to help raise awareness for colon cancer. I really want people to know that it can happen to young people too (though that wasn't really addressed, they said, "If you love someone over 50, make sure they get screened"). So I have some pictures that my family, who are completely amazing and drove down from New York to do this with me, took so I thought I'd share them with you!
It was called the Undy 5000 where they encourage people to run in their undies to help raise awareness but I'm not really an undies-showing kinda chick so that was a negative for me haha. I wore leggings under the boxers they gave me haha.
This is the photo of my whole team. My team came in 2nd place for fundraising, we made $2,248! The first place team had 66 members so it doesn't surprise me that they won, we only had 9 members signed up to fundraise so I say we kicked butt!
The shirts my family had made up

Most of the rest of my team

Crossing the finish line arm-in-arm!
Me and my hubby!
With the other 19 survivors, I got really emotional and had a hard time not crying. Who looks out of place haha? They kept looking at me like wondering why I was standing up there, I think they thought I was just confused haha.
Me and my dad with my "survivor" medal.
It was really fun. I didn't realize I'd have a good time walking 3.1 miles just to do it but I really had a good time. And we raised so much money, I'm so proud! My time wasn't very good but I finished in under an hour so I guess that's not terrible haha. Good thing I wasn't in it for the race, I was just in it for the experience and to raise some awareness that this happens to young people too! It is easier to prevent if you're older and get screened regularly but if you're young and something isn't right, get checked out!!
So that's my lengthy post for the day haha. I hope you guys are having a great week! Thank you, as always, for sticking with me through this whole thing. I promise it'll get better once I'm done with treatments and cancer-free! Here I am getting treatment number 8! Four more to go and I'm done (fingers crossed) forever!!
Thanks guys!!!
