According to recent North Carolina breast cancer statistics, 34 new cases will be diagnosed and 6 deaths will occur in Dare County in 2010. At Sun Realty, we want to do our part to support breast cancer prevention, treatment and detection.
Let me begin by saying how totally impressed I am by marathon runners. I'm in decent shape and could do any other kind of physical activity all day long, but man, RUNNING 26.2 miles? (I'm more of a 5K kind of gal.) It's not so much the physical strength of marathon runners that I admire; it's the mental strength. When your body is telling you to stop, you push through and tell your body to shut the heck up. I love that.:)
