We Did It For Collin!

On Saturday, April 25, our family participated in the March of Dimes 5K Walk for Babies in honor of Collin.

The March of Dimes supports programs in our communities that help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies. And it funds research to find answers to the serious problems that threaten our babies. The March of Dimes has been walking since 1970 and have raised an incredible $1.8 billion to benefit all babies. You can learn more at www.marchofdimes.org. Some day, every baby will be born healthy!

We partook in a little nourishment before the walk.

Sophia thought "walk" meant "race" and ran most of the route! We walked at a pretty brisk pace, but still couldn't keep up with her.

There were so many cool booths & family oriented activities at this event. I highly recommend anyone creating a family team and walking together next year, there are walks in most cities & it supports such a wonderful organization.

We had a great time and we were so glad that Ryan and Abby joined us. We were proud to have walked in gratitude for what the March of Dimes has done for all babies, especially those born with birth defects like Collin's. We were also proud to have walked in his honor; even though we're far away from him, we were able to show our love and devotion to him by walking for him.
