Yesterday, Jason and I walked the March for Babies walk with my friend, Jennifer, and her son. I was so excited I got to be a part of this walk this year. March of Dimes does so much research to find an end to premature birth. They helped fund research for the polio vaccine and spread awareness about folic acid to decrease neural tube defects. I love this organization! I hope this can become an annual thing for our family. I'm already trying to think of cute little slogans for the t-shirts I want to make. The weather was pretty nice as well. We thought it was going to rain but it held out and only started to sprinkle on the last half mile of the race.
On the shuttle bus to the park for the race
Waiting to walk. There were so many people there that it took us 3o minutes to cross over the starting line.
Look at the camera, Jacob!
We took turns carrying Jacob during the walk. He fell and skinned his knees and didn't feel like walking anymore. Poor thing.
After the 5 miles. Yes, I'm wearing a different shirt. I got hot and took off the other two layers that I had - then it started raining. Go figure.
We can't wait til next year! If you want to be a part of it, let me know - you'll get a t-shirt =).
