Healing Hearts 5k

We ran a 5k today.
(But seriously, I know you know we didn't run. But we saw others doing it. And we enjoyed a brisk walk with friends and family)
We woke up early and we had 2
goals for the day: Look cute;
Meet new friends

 


 
Dad supported Team Clara with
the obligatory flower



 

Clara had a moment of
anxiety before we left-Would we
survive 3+ miles?

















Team Clara's numbers were small but motivated and she slept through the entire 'race.' Papa Wallace, Aunt CC and Uncle Nate walked with Clara and I and we came in last place!

After the race, Clara and I stayed for a lunch with the wonderful IHH families. It was so great to meet so many of the strong and brave women we had talked to the last few months-they have helped us through the fear and insanity of this world, the fussiness, the eating issues, the late nights in the surgical recovery unit and they have helped me laugh about so much of it. Heart hugs to all the little heroes and their families.
