Walk for Amy


Kansas City's Race for the Cure 5k was on Sunday morning. My good friend, Amy, who I went to junior high, high school and college with was recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer. :( See the picture of her cute little family above. Her son, Harrison is a few months older than Mitchell. She was also breastfeeding, and unfortunately what she thought was a clogged milk duct was diagnosed as stage 2 breast cancer. Within a matter of weeks, she's already had one breast removed and is struggling to regain strength before starting chemo and radiation. :( In her honor, my high school girlfriends decided we'd walk this morning's 5k. There were about 25,000 walkers/joggers...most of which were wearing the names of their beloved friends/family affected by the disease.



Mitchell joined us, in his little backpack. He was entertained by all of the people for the first half and conked out the second half. :)

This is sad...sorry to hear about your friend.

Thanks for the comment about the shoes. I am not sure if they make them in boys colors...good luck on your search!
