One of my good friend's sons has type 1 diabetes. He was diagnosed about a year and a half ago. He and his parents have been so strong as they figure out their new way of life. Because of the expenses related to diabetes, Matt and Abby organized the first annual Doniphan Diabetes Dash. They will donate the money raised to Nebraska families who have a child diagnosed with type 1.
This was Monroe's first race.
The Newell family
And they're off!
Zach and I walked with friends and pushed the boys. We actually signed up to run the 5k. It was intended to motivate us to train a little bit, but it didn't happen.
Monroe got second place in her age division! That was a fun surprise.
After the race, Matt and Abby had everyone over to their house to grill and swim. Everyone had a great time!
Out on the canoe
It was a great day for a great cause!
Awesome job, Elsburys!
(Thanks for all the awesome pictures, Ashley!)
Thank you for blogging about the DDD! I am so glad my friends have supported us the whole way. :) What a beautiful day it was! See you at the DDD in 2019. :)
