This past Sunday Brian and some friends did a run/walk called Step up for Cancer. It is an event where you climb over 1700 stairs to raise money for cancer. There are over 30 cancer organizations that take part and you get to decide where your money goes. Brian's friend Mark suggested they do this event given that cancer has touched so many of ours lives. Grace & I went for moral support. Grace had fun cheering on the runners and shaking a cow bell. We were very proud of our friends who did this in the heat and it was truly a heart warming experience. We watched I believe he is 10 or 12 year old boy finish the over 1700 stairs to a cheering crowd. He has battled cancer 5 times now in his short life. It was heart warming and so real that so many face cancer on a daily basis, even when so young.
It was a great event and one I'm sure we will do again.
