Race for Amanda

It has been just over two years since my best friend, Amanda, lost her very short battle to ovarian cancer. It was just heart breaking watching her slip away so quickly. She fought so hard and was SOOOOOO positive the whole time. This type of cancer is so dangerous because it is silent and goes undetected so much. Please take the time to read about it for the sake of all the women in your lives who you love so much.

Running up to mommy at the finish line!!!
The weather couldn't have been more perfect today to celebrate the lives of all the women who have fought to beat this horrid disease. We all ran (and walked) in honor of them. But for me especially, Amanda, was on the forefront of my mind the whole time. I had a teal butterfly, ovarian cancer T-shirt on to represent Amanda who loved butterflies so much and the little ones each wore teal shirts for the cause.
We think of you each day Amanda and wish you were still here with us, love you
