Our family has participated in the Race for the Cure in Charlotte and Indianapolis. My favorite part of the Indianapolis race runs behind the zoo, the elephant is always there, sporting a pink ribbon, to greet the walkers. It is such a moving and emotional event, I take a pack of kleenex every year.
Jenni – that sounds like an amazing event, and the elephant! How cute! Thanks so much for sharing about that event.
