United Way is an organization my family has supported for many years. My husband Billy and I have been running the annual United Way Turkey Trot since before we were even married. We now participate with our three little ones. Every year we get up early and head down to Washington Park for all the excitement. We usually run the 5k race
, but this year we were asked as the "Royal Family" to lead the
Family Fun Run. The kids thought it was pretty great that we were asked to come up front to the start line and be introduced. I thought it was pretty great that my two boys were 2nd and 3rd to cross the finish line. I was one proud mom.
