Saturday morning was a busy one for our family. All of us were up at 6 am trying to get to our various adventures that day. When Ella and I drove one way and Bryant, Katie and Carter drove another, my heart sank. It killed me that I was not there to witness Katie's first 5K race! However, Bryant was so good to capture everything on video and tell me every last detail. There may or may not have been a lot of tears that night as we talked about how special this race was.
Katie was the youngest wheelchair racer and never stopped the entire race! She gave it her all and her time was 33 minutes! So proud of our Katie girl!
Bryant put Carter in the jogging stroller and ran along side of her. It was a special experience for them.
After the race they came to the boutique to tell me all about it!
A Huge THANK YOU to nurse Judy who dropped off racing gloves the night before. They helped her out so much!! Katie really loved racing in the 5k. She said her favorite part was seeing friends along the race lines that she did not know were going to be there cheering her on!
We are learning about so many awesome opportunities and experiences out there for wheelchair users. It is so exciting and are really looking forward to more exciting events coming up soon...
