Thank you to everyone who supported the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure event this past Saturday, May 5 in Winston-Salem.

It was a huge success!  12,000 people participated and 85-hundred ran the 5k race (including myself, meteorologist Emily Byrd, reporters Eric White and Leah Beno, and our boss Karen Koutsky)...  not to mention the walkers such as Cindy Farmer and Cindy's Team.

Despite the gray weather, 700 more people participated in this year's event compared to last year.  The race raised at least a half a million dollars! 

FOX 8 crews took plenty of pictures.  Here's the link to the photo gallery.

Look closely.  You may see yourself.  Thanks again for participating and helping find a cure for breast cancer.

It was a great run. The rain held off just long enough. I can't wait till next year's Race For the Cure!

Sounds like a great success!! The Relay for Life Walk was in Elkin last Friday- great turnout! My mother has cancer and we really enjoyed ourselves. The Walk to Cure Diabetes is in October at Wake Forest. I hope that FOX8 can come out and support us type juvenile diabetics. It is always a lot of fun!

This was my second time running the 5K. The entire event was very well organized and went well. Thanks to FOX 8 for the hard work and effort that your team put forth. Seems that it grows each year. I would encourage anyone to participate in this very worthy cause. By the way, good time Emily.

It was super fun and can I say, the number of people who came out when it was grey and muggy and chilly just WARMED my heart. You guys (all 10,000 of you) are the best!

Hey, Caddyboy! Thanks... I'm so NOT a fast runner, but I make up for it in spirit. :) I loved crossing the finish line with my bud, Julie Luck!

I am "lucky" to work with the most respected names in television news in the Piedmont, such as veterans Neill McNeill, Van Denton and Rich Brenner. As co-anchor of the FOX 8 5:00, 6:00 and 10:00 Newscasts, our job is to inform you with the news you need to know and what interests you most. Many of our stories come from your ideas. We are here to help so I encourage you to give your feedback. Setting the formalities aside, I'm originally from "The O.C." in California. After working as Anchor/Reporter in five TV stations across the country in the past decade, it's relieving to settle in the beautiful and lush North Carolina. If I'm not exploring the area, you can find me trying new restaurants or jogging with my barky, but loveable dog. During my downtime, I continue to search for a remedy to de-frizz my hair caused by the humidity, shop for television clothes that are not my favorite basic (but boring) black, and decide whether or not to wear my glasses.
