WTAWTAW - White Rock Weekend - Saturday

Team WTATAW at the pre-party which was supposed to be outside at the Scottish Rite park but was moved indoors due to bad weather.
Thanks, TSRHC, for making an indoor room available to us!!!

people at the pre-party


Will & Dallas White Rock Marathon Race Director, Marcus

On Saturday morning of the marathon weekend, we took Will to his first Challenged Athlete's Foundation Event. CAF is a really neat organization that enables people with physical challenges to compete in athletic events by providing support & specialized equipment (such as super expensive & lightweight carbon prosthetic running legs)

If Will wants, we'll take him to CA in the next year or so to participate in a race for CAF kids!

Below, Will is doing some calf stretches with Rudy Garcia-Tolson- winner of TWO gold medals in swimming at the Bejing Olympics!

(Will has no idea how very cool it is to stretch next to this guy!)

(By the way, I've seen Rudy's medals & there is something very cool about seeing those in real life- very surreal!)

This sweet friend of Will's was a cabin mate of ours at Camp Out on a Limb last summer. She is 3 and has hand differences. She is absolutely precious & I think Will has met his match in the love language department... like Will, she is definitely "touch!"
Love these pics:
