On October 4, 2008, I will be joining my sisters in St, Petersburg, FL to run in the Susan G Komen 10k Race for the Cure. My sister, Mom and Aunt are all breast cancer survivors. An estimated 182,460 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in American women in 2008 alone.
In case you missed it or haven't heard about Stand Up 2 Cancer (SU2C), there is a truly inspirational song by Antonio L.A. Reid and Kenny Babyface Edmonds entitled "Just Stand Up". The song features Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Mary J.
Blige, Rihanna, Fergie, Sheryl Crow, Miley Cyrus, Melissa Etheridge,
Ashanti, Natasha Bedingfield, Keyshia Cole, Ciara, Leona Lewis, LeAnn
Rimes and Carrie Underwood. All sales of the single (download it on iTunes) will
benefit cancer research.
Just Stand Up To Cancer Lyrics
(everything will be alright yeah, alright yeah, alright yeah,)
BEY0NCE:
The heart is stronger than you think, It’s like it can go through
anything. And even when you think it can’t it finds a way to still push
on, though
CARRIE:
Sometimes you want to run away, Ain’t got the patience for the pain,
And if you don’t believe it look into your heart the beat goes on
RIHANNA:
I’m tellin’ you, Things get better, Through whatever, If you fall, dust it off, don’t let up
SHERYL:
Don’t you know you can go be your own miracle
BEY0NCE:
You need to know
SHERYL:
If the mind keeps thinking you’ve had enough, But the heart keeps telling you don’t give up
SHERYL/BEY0NCE:
Who are we to be questioning, wondering what is what, Don’t give up… THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!
FERGIE:
Ooh, It’s like we all have better days, Problems getting all up in your face

Just because you go through it
