I grew up in a sports family, in particular a golf family.
I also grew up as part of two very large families- my mom is one of 14 and my dad one of 9. I have over 100 first cousins. And unfortunately with that comes quite a few health issues. Over 20 years ago my mom's older sister Kathy died of breast cancer. Since then I have lost another aunt and a cousin to cancer and watched another cousin and my brother fight cancer. Cancer stories get me everyday.
And so I couldn't help but get that feeling I get when my dad told me about what the PGA did today- they had a pink out. Almost every golfer and caddy as well as volunteers and fans wore pink today and they set up places to accept donations for the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure. All because a few weeks ago Phil Mickelson announced that he would be taking some time off the tour because his wife had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Because there is good in people. And usually we choose to rally around those who need us most.
