Race for the Cure (part II)

Today, Gabriella, her Mom, and a small group from school, ran in Philly’s Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. As you already know, a classmate of Gabriella’s, Katelyn, lost her mother to breast cancer this year, and Gabriella was very committed in showing her support for her, and the cause, by running this race.  She’s been training with her mother for the past few months, and today they ran together, with some 40,000 others, along the streets of Philadelphia … finishing in just over 36 minutes (5k). We all had to get up very early (5:30am) to make it to the race on time, so after suffering the cold, and the run, by 9:00am, everyone was already wiped. Thanks again to all who donated, and encouraged Gabriella in this endeavor … you’ll hear from her, and Elisa, again next year 🙂

    Goed gedaan girls! Ik heb aan jullie gedacht terwijl nonkel Neil hier zijn 15 km tijdens Dwars door Brugge liep! Maar of hij jullie tempo zou kunnen aanhouden betwijfel ik 😉

    8.5 minute miles voor nonkel Neil is niet slecht he! Gabriella loopt een 11:45 minute mile…met wat meer training and een paar jaartjes erbij kan ze misschien de omloop van Brugge binnen een paar jaren met nonkel Neil lopen 🙂
