Liam's race

This morning, bright and early, our family ran a 5k/1 mile fun run sponsored by the Utah Hemophilia Foundation called the Blood Run. Liam and I ran the 5k and every one else ran the 1 mile fun run. This was a really fun event for our family to do together and supports a really good cause that affects us directly. Liam was so excited to run this race to help everyone, and himself, who has hemophilia. Liam lined up at the front of the pack and took off sprinting as soon as the whistle was blown. He sprinted for about half a mile and then we ran/sprinted/walked the rest of the way. I was so proud of all the kids for supporting Liam in this event. Although no PR's were set today, we had a great time and were so happy to support a good cause. We also won 7 raffle prizes to boot!
