Four generations run for a cure...
My sister Cassie's sorority ZTA at UVa in Charlottesville held a 5K run for a Breast Cancer Cure this Saturday. My grandmother, Loyce Johnson, my mother, Carolyn Griffin, and 8 year-old Annalise Myre and friend Ella Cain ran for a cure. My mother is a survivor and my grandmother survived Non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Annalise ran the 5K in 32 minutes and 17 seconds - the fastest in the children's group. ("Remember, Mom, we don't play for a tie.") She was wearing the pink t-shirt that said "Team Griffin" on the back sent to us from the students at Wadsworth High School in Akron, Ohio where my mom's best friend, Anne Mellinger has been sending us lots of love. Go team!
