Undy 5k walk/run

Last Saturday we participated in the Undy 5k Colon Cancer walk/run in honor of Jake's cousin Ashleigh who passed away from it last September. The sun came out that day after a long week of rain, just for her and for us. It was such a great experience and we love participating in marathons that honor loved ones at the same time as they help with awareness and researching efforts.

Crossing the finish line!
Jonathon is in the green, he wanted to get out of the stroller and run across the finish line too, go baby go!

Proud of Jake :)
Caleb participated too :)

These guys did the 5k, the rest of us did the 1 mile, a double stroller can get tiring ;)

We love you Ashleigh, you will never be forgotten. As we all crossed that finish line we felt you near and we're privileged to participate in this way of honoring you and helping raise awareness to Colon Cancer.

What a beautiful thing to do, I am sure emotions were strong as everyone crossed that finish line.
