Fun Run for Pan Mass Challenge

Lovely Anna smiling after running her race!

Last weekend, we (meaning the kids) did a 1/4 mile fun run to raise money in support of a friend who is doing the Pan Mass Challenge this year. She is my hero - with 2 small children, she is able to train for this event and plan exciting fundraisers!

Ryan ended up not running because the wind was causing him to have trouble breathing due to his cold/asthma, and Anna and Jake were at the end of the pack. They are their mother's children! The persevered and made the whole 1/4 mile lap. I was exceedingly proud of them.

The kids had a blast! There was face painting, as evidenced above, and the kids wore themselves out running around the track. And they learned a little about giving money to help people who are sick. In all, a wonderful experience for us all.
