Komen & 9 NEWS NOW Race Day Buddies in 2008
The apostle Paul wrote "...affliction produces endurance, and endurance proven character, and proven character hope, and hope does not disappoint..."
The Susan G. Komen Race For the Cure is all about hope and it never disappoints. It is one of the most life affirming events I have ever been associated with since I began reporting Buddy Check 9 in 1993. Now, I am thrilled to let you know that 9NEWS NOW has again been chosen to be the primary television sponsor for the 2008 Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure. Mark your calendars now! Race day is Saturday, June 7th. The 19th annual Washington, DC Race is one of the largest of its kind in the country. The race helps raise awareness and millions of dollars for education and research. At least one million dollars is earmaked for breast cancer programs right here in our Metro area.
I was an M-C at last year's race and what a sight is was to look out on that sea of people. About 45-thousand of you running, walking , rolling for the cure. Let's top 50-thousand this year. Help keep the promise.
Share your stories from last year's race right here on my BLOG.
Something you say or do may help another Buddy.

Andrea - So glad you are all going to be back with us for 2008! The interview you and Mike Walters (along with a little help for Rene)did of me as 2007 Survivor of the Year was certainly a topper to my day! I can't imagine the National Race for the Cure without Channel 9's crew amongst us.

Hi Buddies
The day is almost near!
Everyday, and that day we all join 2gether our hopes, prayers, and all good wishes to all of the shades of pink as we keep our promise to find the cure.
Andrea, and Amy, many warm thoughts are sent today from the Woodbridge Senior High School as we unveiled "The Tree Of Hope" dedicated to Susan G Komen. Your kind words of love, and encouragement to the young, and to their parents will be remembered as our Special Guest Of Honor today. You are my inspiration Andrea! Perhaps, each month I will be lucky to reach students in High Schools and make awareness grow as the "Tree of Hope" continues to move forward in various areas of the globe.
Keeping our faith, we will find the cure.
Much love to you, and also the great staff at WUSATV9.
Joni
Smiles,
Joni

Hi Joni,
Check out the redesigned wusa9.com website & my BLOG. I talk about an awesome woman, YOU, who inspired the art students @ Woodbridge SHS to create the Tree Of Hope and raise so much money for Komen. I've also posted some pictures from the dedication ceremony on my photo gallery, Buddy Check Happy Snaps.
You are truly an inspiration and the best Buddy the Washington community could ever have.
See you Race Day.
Andrea
