My best friend Kristen lost her momma to ovarian cancer 4 years ago. My grandmother had ovarian cancer, and my aunt fought it off this past fall. Ovarian cancer sucks. Each year Kristen leads the volunteers and helps organize the NOCC (National Ovarian Cancer Coalition) 5k run and walk. The past two years we have volunteered at the event, but this year I wanted to also participate in the 5k. Amy Bridges and I did it together and made it across the finish line! It was a great accomplishment, but an even bigger accomplishment to be part of an event committed to raising funds and awareness about ovarian caner.
We spent the rest of the day eating, drinking, and enjoying time with friends and all of Kristen's family that came to town for the event. We're already looking forward to next year's race!
