Today Kenadie and I woke up and got ready and went over to Willow Park and walked with the march of dimes/march for babies. I thought I should some how support it and figured I could handle the 5 mile walk. I was amazed and in awe when I arrived and saw so many people there is group t-shirts supporting a family member, I got a little teary and my lip quivered. As I was sitting there waiting for it all to start, my mind went back to my story with Kenadie and how many more people have had this same experience and yet some even worse.
The Mission of the march of dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects and infant mortality. The told us today that $400,000 was raised in just Utah alone.

Kenadie was not so sure about the balloon!

Logan Regional Hospital had the starting line up which was escorted by a fire truck for the first block, we are off.....
Kenadie did great she fell asleep after the first 2 blocks and slept the whole way.....I can't believe I made it 5 miles, one thing I know.....you need good walking shoes and that I am out of shape.
I am very happy that I walked the entire 5 miles with out giving up. but I am sure glad it is over:)
