Washington DC, United States - 7th June 2008

By: wmphimu

What an amazing morning we had! Today was the National Race for the Cure, a huge 5K race to raise money for breast cancer research. There were 50,000 people (and four toy voyagers) that walked and ran in the race today! (and Mara says that there are usually more, but the crazy heat kept a lot of people at home) First, we had to get ready. I skipped the sunblock, but Snuggles helped me and Plaid Moose to pin our race numbers on...

Then it was time for the race. It was hard to take pictures because of how many people were there and the weather (it was really hot, and the morning started really foggy), but here I am on the race course...

The women in pink t-shirts are cancer survivors! And here I am at the finish line! (the building in the background is the one of the Smithsonian museums - The National Museum of the American Indian)

We were really proud of our race - here we all are on a bench afterwards...

...and here we are catching a moment of shade under a plant near the Smithsonian Castle!

Of course, before we got back in the car, I stopped for a picture in front of the Smithsonian Castle!
