xan's actual birthday coincided with another special day for our family
the Race for Hope, in D.C.
as Matt courageously battles this awful disease
Xan's full name {Alexander Vincent}, is in honor
of our sweet nephew, Vincent, who passed away from a brain tumor 6 years ago
we were celebrating and remembering his life, as well as that of our little friend Micah, and my childhood friend's dad, Dave as we walked
it was inspiring and heartbreaking to see the survivors, older, and much too young--
in various stages of the fight
she is so adorable, and ran a good bit of the 5K
the cousins
the yellow balloons in the background are being carried to the front of the race by the survivors, very moving, and I still get teary when I think about the different ones I saw throughout
my birthday boy
it was an honor to participate-- and a reminder of where our HOPE truly lies
