change IS possible – race results
This blog’s theme, change is possible, was evident in full force on Saturday. This past Saturday was the Undy 5000, a 5K walk/run benefitting those affected by colo-rectal cancers. Michelle, a good friend of mine (and a colon cancer survivor at 32) put the whole thing together; to support her, I put together a team. Several of the [...]
