on saturday may 1st, melissa, andrew, tanner, chase, steve, and i traveled down to maryland and spent the day & night w cyndi. it was great even just to be together and to see cyndi’s home. we stayed overnight and the next day we woke up early and caught a train down to DC.
we joined the 10,000+ other participants in the race for hope, and at 9am we made our way to the start line, and started the 3 mile walk. it was a beautiful day and it was so nice to be in our nation’s capital surrounded by monuments and people who cared and were there to run/walk for the same cause that we were. we finished the race together, and afterward there was a ceremony in a tent. david cook, the 2009 american idol winner, had run in the race and gave a great speech. then, he posed for pictures with the children survivors. tanner got to sit right on david’s lap…it was so great!!
it was a great race for a great cause, and we all agreed that we’d be back again next year. here is a video i made, hope you enjoy and maybe some of you will even consider running or walking with us in years to come!
