Kelly’s 5K Walk!
On 4/2, we went up to Valparaiso for our friend Kelly’s 5K walk for cystic fibrosis. Kelly is an AMAZING woman and she has defied so many odds in her life. To read more about her, click HERE! 🙂 She is truly the most determined person I know…she decided that she wanted to create a charitable organization called Care CF (website coming soon) where she could assist other CF patients by providing care packages to them during their extended hospital stays. She raised pledges for each mile that she walked and I know for a fact that she raised hundreds of dollars and received LOTS of care package donations! My blog readers alone donated $250 and 3-4 huge boxes FULL of stuff for her care packages!! (THANK YOU ALL!!) 🙂
Kelly made this poster with photos of other friends of hers with CF. She wanted to put a face to the disease and she also wanted her friends to “cross the finish line” with her. She’s so awesome!
Excited for the race to begin!!
And she’s off!!
Heading toward the finish line…determined as ever!!
Such a happy, emotional moment for everyone! 🙂
Hugging another friend of hers who is battling CF….
Kelly had her own cheering section, it was AWESOME! Definitely one of the most memorable shoots of my life!
Her husband Scott is her rock. You can tell how much they truly adore one another. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to photograph their wedding almost 5 years ago! 🙂
Love you guys!!!
Scott
You are both amazing people. We have truly been blessed by you and your husband. We are forever grateful in helping bring a new awareness and hopefully joy to people battling CF!
