From the Heart Walk

Stacey, Vickie and I participated in the 3rd annual From the Heart walk/run on Saturday. We have walked this event all 3 years and each year seems to get bigger. There were approximately 800 people who came out to show their support for 3 families who have been dealt the difficult hand of cancer. All the proceeds from the event go to support them in an attempt to ease some of their financial burden. Unfortunately, one of the recipients, a 2nd grade little boy, passed away a few weeks ago. His family is setting up a scholarship in his memory with their portion.
We ladies walked the 5k and although we did not set a new speed record, we did enjoy each other's company and got our dupas moving for the day ;) Each year we tell each other that we are going to run it "next year." Be sure to check the blog next May to see if that comes true. HA! I better get training now!
