On October 26, 2013 I rode in my 4th Mamma Jamma Ride. I rode 72 miles my first year and then 46 the rest of the years. This year I only trained for 20 and rode 46 so I'm pretty happy with myself. The last 16 miles were pretty tough but it was such a great time to reflect and feel the women that we've lost to this disease. I rode most of it alone but I knew I was never really alone.
I also raised over$1000 which was the most I've ever raised! Not bad for just sending out a few emails and doing the rest over Facebook! It also warmed my heart because so many clients donated. The work that I do it's the little things (in this case big things) that counts. My heart is full and it was a near perfect weather! Many thanks to all my friends that continued to support me each year! Much love to you!
My name is Runi and I was diagnosed November 16, 2005 just a few weeks shy of my 29th birthday. I was repeatedly told that I was too young and too healthy to have breast cancer. Cancer is not prejudice to anyone regardless of age, race or socioeconomic. This is my story and I hope people learn a great deal from it. Feel free to contact me if you have questions or want to simply talk.

8 Year Cancerversary
Yesterday marked my 8 year Cancerversary. Remember that I used to truly celebrate it but now I'm almost scared to jinx myself. So on Saturday I went to get my hair cut (probably because is signifies control,) had lunch with a dear friend and then friends came into town so had dinner and a wonderful time catching up with them. Besides on Facebook I never publicly told anyone about it. I'm not waiting for the other shoe to drop but as I repeat I do not want to jinx it. It was a lovely day and keeping busy made me forget how my life was completely and forever changed on the afternoon on November 16, 2005.
