Fight Forever Virtual 5K and 10K

I am lucky to be running again this year as part of the American Cancer Society's Determination team.

I ran with them last year for my half marathon the Run to Remember and had so much fun!

 SO this year when I got to be a part of the team to run the Boston Marathon I was ecstatic!!!! I have dreamed of running that marathon for a long time. I love working with the American Cancer Society, particularly the Determination team because I really have fun doing what I love to do and keeping the memory of my grandmothers alive who both had cancer.

So this year I thought I would have some fun while fundraising and host a virtual 5K and 10K for all who want to help me reach my fundraising goal! Yes I have committed to raise $3,500 this year to really want to reach beyond that goal.I will be hosting a silent auction here in the Boston area and night out as well but I wanted to have an event that all of my virtual friends could participate in too!

Fight Forever 5k and 10k virtual run will take place on the weekend of  March 31 and April 1st. I invite you to participate as we all get together and run that weekend. No matter what your running level this is perfect. I like doing a 10K to tune up a few weeks before a longer run, and this is just a few weeks before the Boston Marathon. And a 5K is the perfect place for a new runner to begin :)

I will be posting more information about it weekly too and keeping you updated!!!! I know for sure that everyone who runs/walks with me will be getting a medal and I am working on some t-shirt ideas too. I also will be having some give aways and everyone who completes their race will be entered into a raffle to win some great prizes!

I am asking for a $25 donation for the race, and every single cent of it is just going to the fundraising. In fact you can go here and donate on my page and that is the easiest way!! I have also created a place for the event on active.com if you like registering there for things you can do it that way too.

I hope you will join me that weekend and participate in the Fight Forever virtual run/walk. It is a great way to help support the American Cancer Society and help them create more birthdays!

My Valentine

Well I just wanted to wish you all a happy heart day :)

It will be a busy day for me going on a mini work trip and pretty much traveling all day but I plan to spend some time with my valentine today:

This little girl will always be my valentine :) Since she came into my life she has given me the strength and motivation to get healthy and change my life for the better. 

How do you celebrate Valentine's Day?

I Became An Aunite Again

I had quite the amazing week last week!

It was busy and full of good things, which is why I was unable to blog much ;)

But the best part of it all was becoming an auntie again!!!!


Beware of the squishy baby pictures heheheheh

Little Dylan is the newest edition to our family and we are all so excited! He is the first boy among all 3 of his little girl cousins :)

He was born on Wednesday weighing in right at 6 pounds 10 ounces and 20 inches long. He was welcomed by his big sister Savannah with a tender kiss.

Mom, baby and family are doing great! And we are all spoiling him rotten :)
