Bellingham Bay Marathon Pictures (part 1)


Every person at the race on Sunday has a special place in my heart. You all showed your love for our Taysen. By doing something many of you never wanted to do. Something that you never thought you could do. By simply "getting it" and being there..I am so thankful and happy to report that we collectively have raise just under $8,000 for SMA research!

Taysen at the first spot where our family and friends were waiting for us. Mile 3 i think?

Some of our fans! Tawnee's family, mine, mom and dad in law, and Kells/Kandi were at the first stop.

My mom (Gigi) ran the half marathon and shaved quite a few minutes from the first half she did a few years ago. Great job, mom!

Tawnee and I. I think she could run an ultra marathon and not even break a sweat! A total rockstar

Kelli ran with her sister in law, Melissa. Kelli used to hate running :) I think she secretly loves it now.

This is Kandi. She is the girl who never gives up! It was fun for me watching kelli and kandi go from grumbling about running and barely making it through 4 miles to rocking a half marathon with smiles on their faces!

Jay ran his first half too, after working all night before the race. He loved it and did a great job!

TJ took all the pictures and got as many as he could of everyone... the 2nd half up next!
