Junior Board 5K

Sorry! No pictures! Too much rain.

And yet... people came out. Young children, slightly older folks, some teenagers, a few track and cross country stars, a few struggling walkers, one incredible Nigerienne woman, a couple pairs of weekend hikers, an Iraqi-war veteran, a former host mom.   They ran or walked Ks to show their support of Expanding Lives' girls and made us all feel like we are part of a larger community of people who care and who know that by supporting each other WE make a difference.

I am embarrassed to say that E.L. threw together a junior board despite not knowing what a junior board was.  We just knew we wanted these people to stay involved with us.  Our junior board proved to us that they could pull off a major event with style.

Kudos to Akshita, Charlotte, Josephine, Julia for working hard and succeeding.  Look out 2012!
