Dash for Smiles

We all participated in Dash for Smiles this year, a fundraiser to benefit the cleft lip/palate programs at Rose Medical (where Oli and Anna go) and Childrens Hospital. Our team was Chopsticks and Perogies!

Our friends and family all showed up for the event.

Thanks Bill and Dawn...

...and Mike and Jill

...and Sheri and Bob

...and Deirdre, Greg, Gabby and her friend, Allie.

It was a very hot day and so...

...we might have cheated just a bit and taken a short cut. But none of us were in medal contention!

Afterwards, the adults headed to the beer garden and the kids to the snow cone machine and playground.

Maks was amazed by his shadow.

We so appreciate everyone who came to walk with us that day and for everyone who made a donation. This is the fourth most common birth defect and doctors still know very little about it!
