Mission Accomplished

WE DID IT! It was stupid hot out and it was our first time running beside traffic but we did it, and it was amazing. We crossed the finish line hand-in-hand in 1:10:34. HOURRAY!

I (Robyn) will never run again. I'm so proud of Adam and I for setting an aggressive goal and reaching it but I'm not sure running is for me, so I'm hanging up my sneakers. Adam, however, has found a new love in running, so will be running his next 10k race in October. The kids and I will be at every one of his races to cheer him on!

I'm also very proud of all of our friends and family who supported our fundraising efforts. We raised $805 for United Way of Burlington and Greater Hamilton. A community is not working at its optimum until all members feel valued, are able to live with dignity and are active contributors in the community. It is because of the generosity of these people that this can be achieved:

Wendy & Steven Lowden
Joan Chrysler
Erin Jackson
Jeremy Gowling
Jacqueline Cantar
Anthony Cascella
Meg Eliz
Ashley Babics
Joe Fazari
Brenda Berney
Bobbi Smith
Lorna Pauptit
Megan & Kevin Makins
Donnie Gallant
Cassandra Dorman
Dan & Melissa Werbowsky
Brad Germain
Kelsey Small

Thank you again for all of your donations, your support and your love. And, of course, for reading this silly blog -- you pulled us through when we weren't sure we could make it. WE LOVE YOU ALL! xoxo

Tomorrow we RUN!

We've practiced all we can. The heatwave slowed us down over the last couple weeks but we've picked back up this week and we're ready to race. Look out Downtown Dash, here come the Running Knickles!
