Today we had the priviledge of walking to help find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. About a week or so ago, we found out that Great Strides was doing a walk in Snoqualmie with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and we knew that we had to get involved. About a year ago, our friend Jolene passed away from complications due to CF, and we loved being able to have the opportunity to do something good towards finding a cure. Jolene was, and is, a beautiful person inside and out, and inspired all who were around her. Her sister Karine and her family, myself and the boys, and many of our other friends walked today, under the name "Team Jolene". We had a wonderful time, and were able to raise quite a bit of money towards finding a cure. We can't wait to get started on next year's walk!

Dylan and Lucas in their "Team Jolene" outfits....you may notice the great amount of spit up all over them as well. :)
The whole team at the finish line! It was a wonderful walk.
