PurpleStride 2013

This was our fourth year participating in the Pancreatic Cancer PurpleStride 5k.  All of the family came together for the weekend, even Angie flew in from Brooklyn to participate. On Saturday we got to the Albert Whitted Park bright and early to pick up our numbers and t-shirts. As we looked at the sky we saw huge dark clouds which didn't look too good. Suddenly, the skies opened and we all ran for cover under the tents. Nevertheless, the spirits of the Pan Can people are amazing because nobody left, everybody walked or ran despite the pouring rain. Although it dampened some of the scheduled activities, it didn't dampen the spirits of everyone there for this important cause. Our team raised $905, thank you so much to everyone who donated; it really means so much to have all of your support, thoughts, and prayers during this cancer fight.

The night before, cargo loading!

It starts to rain...

Then it pours!

PanCanners are the best,  running in the rain!

Finished the race!




Some of us didn't mind the rain.










Triple birthday celebration later that afternoon.

Good job Mimi's Milers!
