Race for the Cure

Maverick, Jacob and I woke up early this morning to participate in the 2010 Race for the Cure in midtown.  We walked in honor of our friend, Amy Ladner ("Team Laddy") who lost her battle with breast cancer in January.

Here's a picture of our team. 

Courtney was all too happy to carry Maverick in the little backpack for the walk.  In fact, she carried Mitchell two years ago in the same backpack.  My mom was here for the weekend, so she and Mitchell stayed at home and played.  My Mom already had Maverick dressed for the day when I woke up...and coincidentally she dressed Maverick in the exact same outfit that Mitchell wore to the walk 2 years ago!

Wasn't it nice that Court brought Mav a toy to play with during the walk? ;) 

Here's Maverick riding on Daddy before the walk began.

He couldn't make it through the whole walk without a cat nap!

Here's the crowd walking through Power & Light district downtown.

The walkers head towards downtown KC.

Hard to see...but there is a sea of walkers coating this mid-town bridge.  What a great cause!  This will definitely be an annual event for us!

Amy's almost 3 year-old, Harrison was her biggest supporter!
