Count us in! Sam and I signed up to run this race this weekend with a bunch of his family and friends. It is a fundraiser for Colon cancer research. Sam's little sister, who is my age, was diagnosed with colon cancer a few months ago. Before 4 months ago we didn't know much about colon cancer...and now it is a part of our every day lives. When his sister heard about this event she filled all of us and a lot of her family and friends formed a group, which now includes over 50 people. We weren't sure if we could make it since we were just there two weeks ago, and we will be heading back in two weeks for Thanksgiving, but then yesterday we figured -why not?! We are all excited to run on behalf of her and to raise awareness. My only hope is that we aren't the only one's who are out of shape! We decided we can go on a evening run every day befor the event...which gives us 4 days. This should be fun :-) Oh-and a sponsor offered to make shirts and here is what they turned out like-so cute! Great job Heidi and everyone else who helped make them!

Good luck running sounds like you will need it!
That's terrible!--I thought colon cancer was only supposed to happen to "old" people! I hope she's doing well. Good luck on the run!
That is so cool Amber! Nothing can inspire you to get in shape like a great cause. I've been wondering how Sam's sister is doing. What an inspiration she is! Good luck with the race! If anyone can pull it off it's you. :)
even though i'm not running...i NEED one of those shirts! that's great. PS--you NEVER told me about Sam's sister *gasp*
oh, and GOOD LUCK with the race--Sam's going to eat your dust...Girls Rule :)
Way to go girl. You are an inspiration to me. Hopefully we can hang out during the holiday weekend.
