What a great day! Team Tina did an awesome job at the Run for Ovarian Cancer. We were a sea of yellow shirts among the many runners, volunteers and supporters - and we were a loud and rambunctious group.
We were the top fundraisers. Yippee! And that's before the additional $6,000 London Life will kick in. Apparently someone from the Grand Bend Crew (which came in second in fundraising) said they'd beat us next year. That sounds like a challenge to me . . . one we can't pass up.
The sun shone just as the runners and walkers started their treks - a positive sign.
I think I managed to hug all the members of Team Tina (probably several times and to the annoyance of some) and thank each one personally. It was so much fun!
I'm happily exhausted now. But it was worth it.
While I only walked this year, it's my goal to run the 5 k in 2010. I hope many members of this year's team will join me next year to run, walk and fundraise, so we can continue to the battle the silent stalker, ovarian cancer.
Tina,
Who is proud to be the Tina and Team Tina.
Today was awesome. Sign me up for next year.
ReplyDeleteThe best part was when your sign crossed the finish line into your arms..WOW!!!
It was moving to see people JOINING TOGETHER to do something. And it was great to see your big smile.
ReplyDeleteDarlin girl. What a fabulous day?
ReplyDeleteI am definitely in for next year. I will run beside you in the 5 km. I will have to do a little bit more practice, but I am definitely in.
I watched the news tonight, and it showed alot of the yellow t-shirts crossing the finish line.
What a testament to you darlin?
Totally blessed to have you as my friend.
