St. Louis Komen Race for the Cure
Every year since 2000 our family and extended family participates in the St. Louis Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.

In 1999 my wonderful, funny, sweet, loving sister-in-law, Bobbie Brennan, was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. We all walked as a family to support her fight in June 2000. It was an AWESOME event! By March 2001 at 49 years old, Bobbie lost her battle with breast cancer. She left behind a loving husband, 3 kids and missed out on seeing her
The picture to the left is one of Hollywood’s favorite pictures of her and Aunt Bobbie! ? It just show’s how much she enjoyed and loved her!
Our team, Brennan-Nickel Brigade now walks every year in Bobbie’s memory and in support of Teri Nickel, Bobbie’s niece who fought breast cancer shortly after and has been in remission for several years now!
Our family has grown, Bobbie now has 5 grandchildren, and our team has grown! This picture was taken last year of just a few of us with our team banner
It’s such an overwhelming event to participate in. The SEA of people and pink walking thru the streets of downtown St. Louis is UNBELIEVABLE.
This year, Sunshine had pink highlights put in her hair, in support of all the survivors and in memory of Aunt Bobbie!
After the walk, we all usually gather for a fun day at the park, a restaurant or someone’s house. What ever we do, it’s a fun day and awesome way to celebrate Bobbie’s life!
St Louis is one of the top-three largest Race for the Cure events in the world, the St. Louis Race raised over 3.5 million in 2008 in the fight against breast cancer.
Over 63,000 people gathered for the 10th Annual Race downtown St. Louis on June 21, 2008. The event raised over 3.5 million dollars in the fight against breast cancer, with 75% of those funds staying in St. Louis to help uninsured and underserved women and men.
I am so sorry for your loss. It is great to see your whole family involved in that walk.. it sure is a great cause!

Awesome for you and your family to continue to walk in memeory of a loved one!!!
I just read your bio,… I thought I was reading about myself. I would have had to add two more things, I’m a rule follower, and a little anal…
I know this, but can’t always control it.
