For Mother's Day weekend we did our annual "Mom's On The Run" to benefit Northern Nevada women fighting for their lives against breast cancer. This money stays in Nevada and many families get to use the funds raised at this event for treatment, travel and living expenses among other things. My wonderful Mother had the chance to be with us for two years at this event and now we run in memory of her and her selfless fight against this terrible disease. (Well, this year we walked because my sister who is 8 months pregnant was participating too...very memorable!) I am lucky enough to now have Kris and his family (my soon to be family) come with us each year too. It is a great way to remember my Mom and help people out too. Here are some pics:
This year AND last year my BFF Em came with us....these guys pictured below are also there every year and they always have a theme- this year it was "Lt. Dangle." Can you tell?? Not sure what the point is but they get a lot of attention!
My sister and I:)
I love that this has become our Mother's Day family tradition!
Here is a pic of us in 2008 when my mom was well:) I miss her everyday!
