Anyway, the 5K was great. My friend Mia ran with me. Unfortunately I didn't have a picture from that part because I didn't want to deal with a camera the whole time. I ended up walking for part of it, but beat my best time from when I ran a 5K on a treadmill, so that was kinda cool. Plus, it was great doing it with a friend! Thank you so much, Mia! It meant so much to me that you joined me for that part!
Later that morning more friends of ours joined us for the walk. There was a great turnout from the community. Here are the people who turned out to walk for our team:
This is a friend from MOPS who also came (her daughter just didn't want to be in the above picture.) She wrote about her own experience with March of Dimes here. I thought it was pretty cool.
Along the way they had "Memory Mile" for people who were walking in honor of babies. It was really special to us to have a banner for Jeffrey.
Noelle was in the stroller until the very end when she and Chris "sprinted" to the finish line. She was so cute running!
We all celebrated with a picnic lunch at the end. They had tons of food and lots of activities for the kids.
Thank you all so much for the way you've supported us through this journey! Love you all!

I SO glad for you! I will run with you next year if I can!
Thank you for letting me join you in "the Race for Babies"!! I had a great time running with you. I must say Congrats to you because we DID NOT come in last. You were a trooper and I am so proud of you. Not just for finishing the race, but for how you have shown me Christ as you've grown through the loss of your son. You have blessed me beyond words and you have shown it's okay to cry...
Love you
Mia
