RACE FOR THE CURE

This year Kenny, the kids and I all did Race For the Cure with Sheila (our survivor in PINK!) and the Cox's, the King's and Ken & Marcia.

We wore Cox & Gallacher Karate Tee's and though it was early, and we may have had a meltdown before we left, got off at the wrong exit 3 times--- we had a wonderful time. It was touching, seeing the survivors in a parade, and the people all gathering to support those who've passed and those who've beat cancer. It was really special. We walked the whole 5K with the kids, and it was great, except that time we mis-understood Corinne and she started sobbing... she just needed to go potty! (don't worry, we got her to a potty and it was much better after that.
Kallin rode on Kenny's shoulders, Colette jogged, ran and kept pace with Marcia. Corinne rode in the stroller and we took turns pushing her. We saw where Ken & Marcia lived when they were newlyweds, saw the chapel they met in. It was really cool.
The experience was a memorable one.
