Today we participated in the Walk-Run-&-Roll 5km Race. It was a fundraiser for Walk it Off Spinal Cord Wellness Centre. This is an important cause close to our hearts as my sister in-law is going to be the new physical trainer for the centre that is in the grassroots stages of opening here in Newmarket. It was also Sam's first race and he was super excited. We had been counting down all week as well as eating healthy food and 'training' (lots of practice running he said).

Getting their numbers pinned.

Here he comes towards the finish line. Only a few metres to go.
Crossing the finish line. I actually had a few tears for my little guy. He went the whole distance and did it in 1 hour and 4 minutes!
So proud of his ribbon for finishing.
Then he stood in line for a face painting of his favourite Robot then it was off to get our pancake breakfast.
It was a very successful day for Walk it Off and they raised a great deal of money for the centre. Sam is already talking about next year.
