Race for the Cure


Saturday we headed downtown to walk in the annual Race for the Cure. This is our 2nd year participating with the kids. Last year we signed up but didn't end up walking.....the weather was very rainy. My mother had breast cancer and beat it...I know many other moms of my friends who are also survivors. This organization has always held an important spot in my heart and will continue to do so. Kroger (my employer) is a corporate sponsor and this is one of their biggest days of the year.

We brought the wagon to pull the kids in....as you can see in the pics below. It ended up working really well. I actually pulled them most of the way. Look at how many people showed up to walk!!!



On our walk we went by the new Colts stadium and the Indianapolis Zoo. The elephants are always out to greet us.



We walked with my friend Angela and her parents. Her mother is a survivor and they have been taking part in this walk a long time.

The kids enjoyed riding on shoulders!!! It looks like Kayla is trying to poke Jeromy's eyes out. :)



Some Ghostbusters even walked.

By the end of the walk Jordan had crashed......on a positive note the kids went the entire race without needing to go to the restroom and NO accidents!!!!






This was a pre-warmup before the race



Look at the crowd!!!!
