Jimmy Fund Walk

Today was the Jimmy Fund Walk. Every year we walk it. It raises money for cancer research. It is a great cause and they have a wonderful turn out every year. It's estimated that 8,500 people will walk this year. It's always so great to see that many people come together to fight cancer. 

There are 4 different routes that you can walk. 26.2, 13.1, 5 and 3 miles. The last few years we've been doing the 5 miles because we have not had time to train. But in the past we have done the the 26.2 and the 13.1. 

My sister Gillian and I started this tradition of walking every year, and since then we have always had a team, Heather's Heroes. It's always a good time and such a good cause. 

Today was our 8th year walking, and we had some new people on our team. Laura, Matthew and Ruby :) The rain held off and the sun actually came out! As usual our cheer leader Lisa and boyfriend Chad met us at the finish line. My father joined them this year. 

I'm so happy that we have started this tradition, and I'm hoping every year our team grows.
