Mark the Great benefit 5k walk/run

Today we participated in a 5k. It was a lot of fun. It was to benefit a family who recently lost their father/husband. Tylers family knew him very well. They also had kid races. Avery, Madi, and Maleea all participated. They all looked so cute and were very excited about the race. I was so proud of Avery. She took second place in her group. They all got medals when they finished, which they were all so proud of. Then during the acutal award ceremony, Avery was called up to get a ribbon. It was a great day and really neat to help a family, especially since I know all too well what it is like to lose a father.
Tylers Grandpa Wride was even out cheering us along as we passed his house.
In the kids race, Ave is the one in orange shirt and brown shorts.
