Saturday was very special as we celebrated 5 cancer free years for Rachel's mom, walking in her honor at the Komen Race for the Cure in DC. As many of you know, she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002, but luckily it was detected early and surgery was all she needed.
Five years is a big number for cancer survivors and this special celebration included fourteen walkers on her team and one roller (little Izzy), who slept through most of the race. Scott's parents were also able to come down to walk and celebrate.
Everyone who signed up got a t-shirt but unfortunately they did not have baby sizes. Thank god Rachel is good with a needle and thread as she made a special onesie to commemorate the occasion.
After the race, the celebration continued at the Ermann's for brunch.
Rachel and I would like to thank everyone who attended to support her mom and this important cause. We realize not everyone can attend due to distance and prior commitments but wanted to share the link to Mom Ermann's (Phylis) team page if you wish to donate to the cause.
