If you look closely you can see a picture of Kelly and Emily together taken at Red Robin. For those of you that may not know this, Emily is Kelly's transplant donor. Emily flew out to meet Kelly last February. Her plane landed about 30 minutes after mine did that day so I got to share in the amazing moment when Kelly and Emily met for the first time.
There is also a short piece about Mason Bernard who is the local TNT hero for the fall team this season.
Mission day was an incredible experience. There were about 40-45 of us running that morning and every single person shared the reason why they were running.
Some were running simply because they could. Many had personal connections.
One young mother spoke about losing her 10 month old infant daughter.
Catherine Bernard is running for her son.
There is a grandmother on the fall team running for her grandson.
One of the mentors, Alison is running for her mother, Mary.
One young gal said she was running because she could and also because she didn't think it was fair when young people got cancer. It made her mad.
Elly Valas who I am honored to serve with on the board for the Rocky Mountain chapter was running for her the light of her life, her late husband and for her best friend Patti Kaufman who passed away in July of this year.
So many others, too many others we run for.
I run for for Laiken, for Patti, for baby Molina, for Mason, for Brandan, for Brittany, for Sarah, and always and forever I run for my hero-Kelly.
