The Yellow Balloons Continuation, 2007 Breast Cancer Race

Last year I videotaped the Las Vegas leg of the Race for the Cure and afterward edited several pieces for their website. One of the videos I made focused on a group of walkers headed up by Lisa Blythe. It was aptly named The Yellow Balloons. Lisa’s mother had breast cancer and Lisa organized a group of friends and family to walk in her behalf. At the end of the Race they released yellow balloons with cancer survivors’ and victims’ names written on them. I spent some time with Lisa. She was a very charming woman.

I returned this year hoping to see Lisa again and that there would be good news about her mother. Unfortunately, there was surprising and sad news. I made this video for the family. For more tributes please visit www.roxievideo.com
