Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way...all 3.1 miles!! This morning, my "not so flat" cousins and I ran in a 5k race for arthritis. Arthritis is a medical condition that can cause pain, stiffness and swelling in your joints. Most people think of arthritis as a medical disorder that affects primarily older people, but it can affect children, as well. I learned there are over 50,000 children just in the United States with a type of arthritis called JRA - Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Knowing that - made me want to run just that much harder and faster. We had a great time at the race and the best part??? "Our" team raised $1085 for the Arthritis Foundation!!!
Here I am participating in the pre-race warm up with my "not so flat" cousin, Jackson!!
Afterwards, it was time to celebrate...my "not so flat" cousin's 3rd birthday! He loved his cake (which I helped decorate.) Can you guess how many pounds of M&M's are on top?? Happy Birthday Jackson!!
Until next time...
Hugs,
Flat Rylie
