12 June - F.A.B. 5K!

The F.A.B. 5K was a huge success with great turnout of almost 300 people and $15,000 raised to benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation!
Lesley, Bonnie, Kelly and Melanie (organizers) - you are awesome and we can't thank you enough for doing this for Sarah, for your loved ones and all other women who face breast cancer. It is so uplifting to take part in something positive like this amidst the day-to-day struggle with treatments, doctors visits and the unrelenting uncertainty. And a huge thank you also to the many volunteers and people who came out to participate. What a moving experience it was!
In these pictures that I was able to take, you can see Sarah at the starting line, Sarah in the pace car with Dave L., and a picture of Kelly and Bonnie (how did I not get a picture of Lesley and Melanie!?). There's also a video of the race start where you can see the many people that participated in the race.
After the race, Ben, Sam and I headed up to an Indian Guides campout which was very muddy but also very fun. One of the few times I'm comfortable telling the boys, "sure, get as dirty as you want - go nuts and have fun with it!" But we did have some "battle damage" - Ben's usual upset stomach from over-indulging on the junk food buffet and Sam's burnt finger from touching something that was hot from the campfire. Well, overall it was a great campout.
Quick update on this past Thursday as well: Sarah's body temp started getting over 100 on Tues and Wed so the doc had her take a week off of chemo and prescribed some antibiotics in case she had a low-grade bug or infection. When her temp gets up there, Sarah really doesn't feel good and it makes for a tough day. We're hoping that she'll get some relief and feel a bit better after this week.
