April 4. Diagnosed with breast cancer May 23. Double Mastectomy  October 11. Reconstruction  December 10. Half marathon at 9.35 pace December 10. Officially kicked cancers ass! Every mile I prayed for a specific person currently fighting cancer or ALS. At the beginning of each mile marker, I would call out their name and condition to those I was running with, who also prayed. The last .1 stretch of the race was prayer for the families who lost a loved one too soon in life. Mile  1. Hilary Larsen 2. Julie McNaughton 3. Aimee Norman 4. Jennifer Pagani 5. LeeAnne Whitley 6. Wes Bobbit and Larry Grist 7. Kerry Patterson 8. Gordon Mattocks 9. Nicka Thornton 10. John Taylor 11. Karen Smoots 12. Mary Jac Chambers 13.1 The families of David Brock, Kristen Burke, Sloan Chambers, Tom Canaday, Rob Eubank and Will Prince An amazing thing happened when praying for the strength and health of these beautiful people... As I began to struggle, a vision of these fighters came to me and they were cheering me on. It was truly incredible. I looked forward to each mile knowing I had someone else to pray for, and I couldn't let them down. In my mind, each person was running the race with me and passing the baton to the next person on the prayer list. They were with me fighting every mile just like they are fighting for their health and lives now. What a privilege it was to have their couragous spirits with me. All my love and boobs, Xoxo Mb
