Cancer Crusade

Several months ago I was given the opportunity to help organize the 1st Cancer Crusade for our city. Amanda, a girl I grew up with, has been battling cancer for the past four years and came up with the idea. My best bud Nancy and I were excited to jump on her bandwagon. After much planning, praying and sweat, I am proud to say we pulled it off.

On Saturday morning we held a 5K race and then afterwards, a trike-a-thon for the kids. I think everyone had a good time. There was music, food, bounce houses and prizes... The community really came through for us and I am so excited to report that we raised $14,500! The proceeds will be split between the Patty & Bo Pilgrim Cancer Center and St. Jude Children's Hospital. For our first year, I would say that is AWESOME!! Can't wait until next year!

Here are some pictures from the day:
