Running for Spinal Bifida

Today I had the pleasure of cheering for Mr. Gammon-Reese as he ran and pushed over 100lbs in the Bellingham bay half marathon.

Here are a few reasons why I would NOT want to run a half marathon…

1.     Do you know how long a half marathon is? 13.1094 mile of running!  Also you’re not even running to save your life; it’s just for fun!
2.     I would get so hot and tired after 13 miles of running by the last  .1094 miles I would probably just lay down.
3.     I smelt so many stinky people after the race, it was cray cray!

This was Mr. Gammon-Reese’s 2nd year doing the race. Why did he do it? To raise money for the Spinal Bifida Association, 2 of the 16 Reese children have Spinal Bifida and they proudly rode in their stroller as their dad pushed them.

If you would like to learn more about how you can donate to the Spinal Bifida Association. Check out the Gammon-Reese family blog.

The kids were really tired after all of the treats they ate during the race.
