March of Dimes Walk!!

What a GREAT day to dedicate your time and money to such a special fundraiser! I must admit I didn't know much about the March of Dimes and what this wonderful organization did for premature babies, until my dear friend Christy delivered her twins at 25 weeks gestation. I will never forget the phone call I got around 7:30 that morning from her telling me she delivered the twins that night. I was in shock...just like she was. However, they are so wonderful now! Healthy and Happy! This is a pic of this wonderful family at the MOD walk!!

Well... let me go back with the story and tell you that Christy and I went to high school together. We were both pregnant and due September 2, 2008...how exciting...we had the exact same due date. Since Christy already had one child, I called her just about every other day (sorry Christy to bother you so!!) to ask questions about how I was feeling and what to expect next. Why...b/c she was going through the same thing I was, but she had a little girl and boy in her belly! We grew very close during this Awesome bonding experience, I cherish her friendship. Anyways, my precious friend delivered very early and she now has 2 miracles, gifts from above that are 11 months old!!

So, this is who we were walking for...Maddox Aaron and Mallory Hope...

The walk was 6 miles, however we chose to participate in 4 miles (it was getting hot in SC)- we socialized for a bit and then were on our way! Christy arranged for us all to have shirts that matched and the kids too. It was a wonderful time and a great opportunity to see many people from Lexington! Of course, you know I have to include Brinlie in her March of Dimes "get up"!!
