I forgot to write that the team did something really special on Saturday. I never would have thought it would have the impact that it did... but it meant a lot. The team leaders, captains, mentors, and coaches all wrote names of patients currently fighting and patients who have lost their fight with cancer. From loved ones to friends to coworkers, the names were written in chalk, extending a quarter mile down the Burke-Gilman trail. The names where there as we started and ended our run. I recognized a majority of the names, I pictured their faces, remembered their stories. I don't have much else to say except for that it was very touching and it made things seem even more "real". It made me that much more grateful to be out there and even happier to be raising money for such a great cause.
Thanks for reading.
