A huge crowd turned out in downtown Owensboro today for the 6th annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk.  Here's our video from the official starting line!

Up, Down and Dirty For a Cure is in the books!  And Owensboro's first-ever Mud Run was a HUGE hit.  Hundreds tackled the boot camp-inspired course last weekend at Diamond Lake Campground and Resort and a handful blazed through it.  While I ran the course, kissed the ground at the finish line, then immediately ran to the Atmos Energy grill to get a hamburger, others took the course VERY seriously. 

As you all know, I do a lot of work with the American Cancer Society.  I am the chairperson of Relay For Life here in Daviess County and I also emcee their annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk each fall.  I also work, annually, with Susan G. Komen for the Cure's Bowl for a Cure event here in Owensboro.  But, somehow, as involved as I am, I totally missed this!  Have you seen this video
