Jack's First Marathon
Tomorrow, Jack will be running in the 1k "Time to Fly" event raising money for the Children's Cancer Research Fund. For this event, Jack has raised over $500 that will go to the University of Minnesota to help fight childhood cancer. We couldn't be more proud of him, he is SO excited about this run. He has been saying "I am running to help sick kids get better." Because he's raised so much, he will receive a $50 gift card. Jack has decided to take that money and buy toys for the boys and girls up on 5B. 5B is the Children's cancer floor at the U of M and has been a big part of our lives in the last 7 months. The people up there (patients, families, nurses, aides & doctors) are amazing. We'll post pictures as soon as we have them of his run! Way to go Jack, we're all so PROUD of you!
