A couple more in the bucket

Two more races crossed off my bucket list!  One would have done it, but I'm up to 5 on the year now!

I was blessed to run two in a week -- one with my cousin Sarah to raise awareness for lung cancer research.  We lost our grandpa to lung cancer.  He would be so tickled to see us running together (and not away from him!).

Six days later, despite a VERY sore knee from the week before, I spent a rainy day at Kauffman Stadium with my college friend, Mary, to raise awareness (and money) for ALS.  A friend of hers from her church, at age 34, was diagnosed with ALS.  That's my age. It spoke to my heart. Our families came to cheer us on (and walked with us -- the rain turned into more of a walk and a rally!)
