In honor of my mom and Grandma Kathy we participated in the Outrun The Sun race against Melanoma. Brett and I ran it last year and really enjoyed it so we decided to do it again. This year some of my friends came to support me. I am so grateful to them for supporting me in something that means so much.

Our "Melanoma Hero"
Jane also ran this year. She and I ran the 1 mile race with a goal to run the whole thing and we did it. We also won the 1 mile category being the first ones to cross the finish line. Even though it's "not about winning, it's about having fun" Jane thought it was pretty cool that we won;)
Nedra and her daughter Lauren ran together.
I love doing this race. It is so fun to participate in something that has directly touched my life. Jane kept saying that Grandma Kathy was watching over us tonight as we ran, and I'd like to think she was:)
