Thank you again to everyone who has donated to the Revlon 5k run/walk for women's cancers. So far, the pledges I received have totaled $540.00.

It will be my honor to walk for the following:

Please check out the link on the left side of the page for the Revlon 5k Run/Walk to monitor the pledge progression.

As well, there is a COOL link to the walk route on Google Earth. You must have Google Earth installed to view this file. If you are able to view this using Google Earth, when you open this for the first time, under Temporary Places, there will be a blue link called Revlon Run/Walk for Women. If you click this link, a photo will appear of our mother. If you click the photo, this will also take you to my donation page. There is also a > Play button, that will fly over the 5k walk route. When exiting Google Earth, it will ask you if you'd like to save this from your Temporary Places to your "Places" permanently.

The finish line is at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliesum. Home of the 1932 and 1984 Summer Olympics.


Los Angeles Coliseum History: The Olympic Torch
Built prior to the 1932 Olympic Games, the Olympic Torch has since become a vital part of Los Angeles Coliseum history. Even though the 1994 Bay Area earthquake forced many changes to the Coliseum, the Olympic Torch remains a symbol of a storied sporting legacy. It is lit during each and every USC home football game, as it was for each and every Ram and Raider game held in the venerable stadium. It has also been lit many times to celebrate special events, or to mourn the passing of great men and women. In 2002, the Olympic Flame was brought to the Coliseum and used to re-light the Torch on its way to the Salt Lake City Olympics. It was also lit for seven consecutive pays following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, then again following the deaths of California native Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II, what had held mass inside Memorial Coliseum back in 1987.
