Today was a fabulous day. This morning I woke up and took three of my children to a 5k event locally(Christian had the soccer draft). The race was to raise money for Pulmonary Hypertension. When you think life is really tough you just have to open your eyes and there is always someone who has had it tougher. The race today was in honor of a little girl-who was only 4- when she died from PH. She was an identical twin and when her parents spoke today it made you want to hold your children close. The event was called Taylor's Wish and it took place in Anaheim Hills. We ran the event last year, just 20 of us, and it went well. Today there were 97 runners plus more people from our little church and school thanks to a wonderful and dedicated teacher who took it on. Thanks, Mrs. Marti. The sky was bright blue, there were families everywhere, and people came out because they care.
It was so much fun running in a race where we knew so many people-there was cheering, yelling, and praising of all age groups(from my little nieces Araylia and Isabella) to former junior high students(George and Gabby). My children did well and I was so proud to be a part of such a positive event.
Thank you to all of you who were there. I think next year we can double the numbers from today.
