Great day in the morning!!

Today was the 3rd annual Stride & Ride event to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association, and what a day it was!

My team which consisted of Jennie, J, Wendy, Rebekah, Dayle, Carey, Stephanie, Lori, Keith, Eimear, and myself all shown here, and Diane, and Crystal who were absent but active fundraisers, raised $1871 (or more, I didn’t get an official tally) which at our request will go towards research for Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

I will never forget the day because it was one of those rare times when many of the people you care about are in one place.

Here is a picture of Wendy and Elisabeth Bryant. Could Wendy be any more beautiful?!! And that baby is TOO CUTE!!

And this is one of my favorite Jennie and J pics. I think their kindness shows in their eyes.

A special treat came when my old friend Keith, and his wife Eimear showed up with 3 of their 4 children, 2 of whom were less than 2 months old. This is a pic of Keith showing me one of the precious twins.

Without being mushy, I just want to say I felt truly loved today, and I will always value the friendship and support you guys so generously give to me :)
