Fun Run For Cancer

Finally a race we could run with our kids!! This race was for cancer research. We wanted to run and support a girl in our ward with luekemia, Molly Keeny. She had, had chemotherapy the day before the race, but showed up Saturday and her family pushed her the 5k's. We admire her for her positive attitude! Our prayers are with her and her family! I bought the girls new runners, so they had been practicing their running. During the week, after I would finish my run, the girls would get out of the stroller and practice running, so that "we can run fast in the race." We pushed the girls basically the whole way until we arrived at the road where the finish line was! Lilli was so excited, especially when we got closer to the finish line and people were cheering her on and clapping!! She was smiling ear to ear! It was a really neat feeling to see so many (around 450) people show up to support Molly (and others with cancer) It was actually organized by 5 highschool kids. Wow way to go!!
Wow look at that form:)
Izzy ran with Daddy and tried to keep up with her big sister! Way to go Izzy!!
