Running for Wonder Woman

The day mom was discharged from the hospital, I was in Austin running a half marathon.  The last little bit of my training and (certainly) race day was clouded by what was going on with her.  As I ran, I made a resolution to find a race that benefited ovarian cancer research.  Most runs have a charity or cause they benefit, but usually I choose a race based on date/location/distance.  But I was ready to run for a cause was close to my heart.

Some quick googling revealed the "Sprint for Life" that MD Anderson does in May benefiting the Blanton-Davis Ovarian Cancer Research Program.  With the fantastic care that mom gets from MD Anderson, this seemed like the perfect choice.  So Rob, Drew, Ellie and I are registered to run the 5K (or in the kids case- the 150 foot sprint) the morning of May 3, and Travis and Lyndsay (and dad!) will be joining us.

AND WE WOULD LOVE NOTHING MORE THAN FOR YOU TO JOIN US, TOO.  

Would you consider it?

It's a 5K run/walk held in the med center starting at 7:30AM on May 3rd.  Walking is perfectly appropriate and acceptable, so don't let the "run" part scare you.  

Our team name is "Dee Dee: Wonder Woman."  If you do register, you can join our team by finding the email they will send you titled "Support Us through your Webpage".  Click on the "Manage your page" link in that email, then go to the "teams" tab.  You will see the "Dee Dee: Wonder Woman" team and will have the option to join.

I have plans to make tshirts and maybe one other surprise up my sleeve. :) And it will be better if there are more of you with us.  And what a celebration it will be-- because May is the month that chemo should be over and mom will (God willing) be in remission!

Love to you all- 

Lindsey
