LD recently ran in a 5K for a sweet little girl who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma (a type of cancer that affects mostly toddlers and babies). In the last 4 years we have learned more about neuroblastoma than we would have ever liked to know as it hit close to home when dear friends of ours, the Aquaro's little boy Joey was diagnosed at the age of 2. I have blogged in the past about Joey Aquaro and his battle with this awful disease and as we have walked with our sweet friends Matt and Maggie. Isabella is a friend of Joey's and LD was happy to be able to run in this 5K for her.
LD has not ran in a timed race since college so after 3 weeks of prep he felt pretty good about. I was extremely proud of hm as he crossed the finish line in 25 min and 8 sec! Great job babe!
And they were off....
Clare and Joey patiently waiting!!

They were such great cheerleaders!
And then LD came!
During the run since Matt, Maggie and their girls Annie and Olivia were running, Joey, Clare and I hung out together. Joey is incredibly sweet to Clare and she just adores him. They were cute climbing trees and playing silly games while we waited. It was a sweet time together!
