This weekend has surly been a crazy one! On Saturday, LSU hosted the Susan G. Koman - Race for the Cure. Not only was I there for the 1 Mile Fun Run, but I had my first paid photography gig! Southeast Middle School hired me to capture the "Kids Fighting Cancer" team during the race and during the events. It was pretty hectic and I was a little nervous! The day went really well and they students were a joy to be around! Breast cancer hits close to home for so many people. After we lost Monique this year, I didn't know how easy being at this race would be. The race is all about celebrating survivors like sweet Mrs. Mollee! Mrs. Mollee is a 20 year survivor - she has had 2 rounds of breast cancer, Leukemia, and Lymphoma. She is one of the strongest women that I have ever met. I was honored to walk in memory of Monique and in celebration of Mrs. Mollee. For the first time in several years, Mrs. Mollee was well enough to walk the 1 mile! It definitely pulled on my heart strings to watch her walk across the finish line!
