As the Austin Challenge enters its 13th year, we need more Texans than ever to unite to pick a fight with cancer. On October 24-25, you'll have your chance as thousands of fired up Texans descend on the Austin area to take the LIVESTRONG Challenge 5K Run/Walk with a start/finish at the Capitol steps, and 10, 20, 45, 65 & 90-mile rides in Dripping Springs. Together we will raise money and awareness to inspire and empower the nearly 12 million Americans living with cancer.
Me too!
I think I'm doing 45. Not sure since its the same day as the Longhorn IM, and I need to get down to the race after to support.:)
Im In for Warrior Nathan
I will be riding in HONOR of a friend of mine who lost her little boy last week to colon cancer. If anyone else would like to ride in honor of her little warrior please let me know. I went to highschool with his mom and they have been fighting this battle for over a year.

 I will be riding the 45 mile route. This route goes past my house, so we will prob have a cheering section from the family I nanny for!
If children have the ability to ignore all odds and percentages, then maybe we can all learn from them. When you think about it, what other choice is there but to hope? We have two options, medically and emotionally: give up, or fight like hell.

In memory of Mother
