Race For The Cure

As we all know October is "Breast Cancer Awareness Month" across the nation. For me the Susan G. Komen "Race For The Cure" always makes me stop and recognize how wonderful life really is. RE/MAX is a nation sponsor of the "Race For The Cure" and this year RE/MAX First Choice was honored by being chosen to represent RE/MAX in Birmingham's Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure. We raised money and had several of our agents participate in this years event. The day was rainy and cold, but I was amazed at how many stayed and enjoyed themselves regardless. Check out some of our pictures from the day...
