Meet Superhero Sophie

The Wong Walkers would like you to meet the newest addition to the SWE team, Superhero Sophie.

Superhero Sophie, as we like to call her, is more than just a mascot for SWE’s corporate race team; she is a Chihuahua, adventure seeker, lover of nachos, and heart-felt philanthropist.

Sophie also has a personal connection to breast cancer through her mom, her sister, her daughter, her friend, and her very own self.

So who is Superhero Sophie?

She is you. She is me. She is a celebrated survivor. She represents all of us who have shared the journey with a loved one battling cancer. She is a superhero – and we can be too.

Join the Wong Walkers as we participate in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on Sunday, November, 4, 2012 in Balboa Park to be a superhero to someone battling breast cancer today. Because 75 percent of every dollar raised through the Race stays in the community to fund local breast cancer education, screening, and treatment programs -- the remaining 25 percent supports groundbreaking breast cancer research.

Registering is easy. Click here and follow the prompts:

Superhero Sophie has an exciting October planned, so keep following SWE’s Facebook page to see what she is up to next!

Sophie's Training Tip #5 Minimize

Stay Hydrated

Superhero Sophie reminds you that training in hot weather is no excuse to stay indoors as long as you stay hydrated. It's important to drink plenty of water throughout the day -- not just while working out. What are you waiting for?  Grab a bottle of water and your training shoes and get going!

Join the 2012 Wong Walkers Race Team! Minimize

For the past four years our race team, the Wong Walkers, has been very special to our company. Breast cancer has been no stranger to members of the Simon Wong Engineering (SWE) family. Over the past two years, SWE has taken the journey with two of our own during their battle for life. In the same season in which we were able to celebrate one victory over cancer, we also suffered the loss of a coworker and friend whom we cared for deeply to the same disease. It is in honor and memory of these two amazing women that we will walk and/or run the 2012 Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure 5k on Sunday, November 4, 2012.

At SWE we believe in community. We believe in helping others. We believe that together, we can make a difference in the life of a mother, sister, daughter, and friend!

SWE happily invites each one of you to you to join the Wong Walkers! Joining is easy; simply click "Join Wong Walkers" and follow the prompts.

OR, if you would like to sleep in and still help others, we are excited about that, too! Any donation to our fundraising efforts for the San Diego chapter of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure is greatly appreciated.

A Note from Your Team Captain: Minimize

I love the name Wong Walkers. I love this cause. I love that as this company's marketing manager I get to captain this team for the fourth year in a row. I love that we walk in honor and memory of those we love. I love that special thing that happens when people come together to support each other. I love Balboa Park. I love working out. I love training. I love raising money for charity. I love that 75 percent of every dollar raised through the Race stays in the community to fund local breast cancer education, screening, and treatment programs. I love that the remaining 25 percent supports groundbreaking breast cancer research. I love seeing that money provide tangible benefits to someone in need. I love inspiring people to do all of the above. I love that you are looking at this page. I love that I have the chance to encourage you to sign up for this race. I love that you may donate instead. I. Love. This.
