Race for the Cure

We spent Saturday morning at the 13th annual Southeast Iowa Race for the Cure. I had been the co-chair of this event for a few years but this year I attended solely as a participant. Much less stress!! Ryan's dad, Dick, and step-mom, Linda, (and lil' bro Brennen) came with us again this year.



This year was all about my Gramsy, Barbara McCormick. She is a survivor!! I thought of her all morning and how lucky I am to have her around. She survived massive surgery and 8 weeks of terrible radiation but is now CANCER-FREE! We love you Gramsy and we raced in celebration of you.



Okay, time to spill. We didn't really race. But we wanted to! About 200 feet past the start line the stroller broke down, both kids had a massive melt down and we bee-lined back to the car. Dick, Linda and Brennen were able to finish with one minor spill that required the first aid people to take care of. Wouldn't you know it was the 13 year old that spilled and NOT the adults! :)
