Today was race day! Today, roughly 20 people met as part of Team Break the Grey to run/walk (nobody crawled, to my knowledge) a 5K (3.1 miles) for 5 of our families! We ran/walked for Nick, Chloe, Adam, Patrick, and Katie. We had a fantastic time! Check it out:

Before we get to the rest of the pictures, I have to share a cool story to share about the picture below. The woman standing in front in the white tank top (and not the Break the Grey shirt) came up to our team before the race and said that she just had to come tell us hi when she saw our shirts, which said, "Break the Grey: fighting childhood cancer." Her son is 2-years-old and is a childhood cancer survivor! He was diagnosed at 14-months-old and is now a survivor! It made my day that she came up to us to tell us thanks and ask for a picture with our team. Way to go, Team Break the Grey!

All in all, I think it's safe to say we had an awesome time! What a fun way to show support for our families! I think Dan's face, pre-and-post-race, says it all - we had a BLAST!
Thanks to everyone on Team Break the Grey for coming out today! Thanks to all of our volunteers for helping us make it happen! And thanks to our families for allowing us the honor and privilege of running/walking in solidarity with you. We love you!
Hoping, Believing, and Never Giving up,
Sarah
