An emotional mama at the finish line! Love my mama...

Barely Movin'!


We did it! Team Barely Movin' completed the 5k walk as a part of the LiveStrong challenge! Surrounded by kids and mom's with babies, we brought up the rear and completed the walk just before the rain set in. Our team was made up of my aunt Bertha, cousin Gracie, Julia (with the babies) and Matthew.

The walk was basically around the Seattle Center/Lower Queene Anne area - a nice part of town. We managed the whole route without incident which as you know is a feat for our family. The experience was very emotional, and many riders/walker/runners were participating in memory of friends and family or were cancer survivors - which was so awesome to see - we have hope! After the walk, we hit Julia's for brunch where mama almost finished an entire breakfast - definitely a good sign!

I think mama felt very fatigued from chemo on Wednesday which included Cisplatin - the worst in terms of causing nausea and fatigue. But she insisted, persisted and she did it!
