LIVESTRONG

Charlenes request for her birthday weekend: We participate in this run with her.


Congress bridge: Same start as the marathon but there is a 23 mile difference.


Totally fun running with Char and Colby. We lost Mr. Bell as soon as we crossed the start line. You cant expect a man with two hip replacements to be able to keep our pace.

Amazing that he can even do the run.

The best part was calling Mom and Dad during the run. Of course we haggled Mom about still being alive and how she used her 9 lives a long time ago.

Colby and I also sang a loud rendition of Happy Birthday to Char.






At the finish. Char did not like the run uphill on Congress.


Tommy has lost his Dad, Mom, and sister to cancer. It was amazing to see all the people running in memory of or in honor of loved ones with Cancer.


It wasnt easy to get through but we are so blessed to still have Mom and Dad with us. Jackson doesnt think he has any desire to be a doctor but almost weekly he brings up the topic of cancer and how close they are to having a cure.
