Whether you enter the contest to create a sandcastle, or you participate as a fan, it is an event not to be missed. The detail in these sandcastles is amazing. Last year, there were some themed towards the Olympics, and there were also some Halloween sandcastles. And it is just another great opportunity to enjoy the beach and enjoy the beauty of Corona del Mar.

Race for the Cure Finish Line

Race for the Cure Finish Line

The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure  was held in Newport Beach at Fashion Island yesterday September 27, 2009. I participated in this event with my family, and what an amazing experience. The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure attendance was approximately 30,000 people. There were participants racing in honor of others who are survivors, and there were survivors as well that raced.

It was a foggy morning in Newport Beach, and there were actually two races, one began at 7:30 and the other one began at 9:45. Also, there was an incredible dedication ceremony to the survivors of this disease. By 12:00 noon yesterday, over $2.5 million dollars had been raised.
