Race for the Cure

We walked the Race for the Cure this year for a couple of reasons. One, selfishly is because I like to schedule events like this to get my rear in gear and exercise again. But most importantly is walking for a GREAT cause. I knew it was going to be pretty awesome to be walking for survivors and non-survivors of breast cancer with THOUSANDS of people downtown Indy. We explained to Soph what we were doing and she really put her heart into the experience too. So it was such a WONDERFUL experience that I would love to do again.

We walked with our neighbors across the street and we let the kids finish the race by running across the finish line!!! SO ADORABLE!!
Above...we were walking past the zoo and they pulled the elephant up to the fence with a big pink ribbon on her!! So cool for the kids!

Here's Emilie and I pushing the kids for part of the race. We had the double jogger for the big kids and Ada got the best seat in the house all snuggled up in her car seat.

There she is!!

Look at the SEA of people. There were a few times I got tearful. This was one!! It was just amazing to see all these people and most had pictures of their loved ones on their backs saying in honor of or a survivor. The teams had hilarious names...ya know...like Save the Ta Ta's. But they would announce these teams as we were walking and you could just cry thinking of these women fighting a big fight.

I thought of Dad that day. I walked for him too even though he had cancer of a different "part". We hope to walk the prostate cancer walk this year and let Dad walk in the Survivor's Parade!!! Thank you God for your healing power and the technology and doctor's and all the survivors who fight the good fight!! We honor all of you!!
