Last Saturday my brother Brady and I ran in the Rex E Lee 5K run ( yes, he beat me by 2 or 3 minutes...dang him:)) and I was finally able to get some pictures of it. It was so much fun and really meant a lot to us. We ran this race for my mom who had a really rare form of neuro endocrine lung cancer this past fall. She was able to have a very painful surgery where they removed the spots of cancer in all 3 lobes of the lung. It was a very long procedure but we are so grateful that she is doing well and has had an amazing recovery!! My mom is an amazing woman and we were so honored to run on her behalf. Next year my dad and her promised they would meet us at the starting line and run/walk this race with us. We are going to hold them to their promise!!:)
We were also able to run this for our 8 year old neighbor boy, Drew, who is such a courageous cancer survivor!!
Mom and Dad, thanks for coming and supporting us in this race. I don't think my dad has ever missed one of my races. You guys are the best!

AWESOME!! Good job on the race. We love Helen dearly!
I love your mom's smile and her light blue coat. She is so beautiful. Congrats on an awesome run!!
Way to go Heather! I wish I would have known & I'd have done it with you (or at least tried to). In fact, I think quite a few of us Duncans would have done it for our Aunt Helie!
Ali, thanks you are so cute!! That would have been so fun... It was kind of a spur of the moment thing. I was barely able to talk Brady into it in the nick of time. We should all do a run together that we be so very fun! I am sure I can find another event somewhere along the way:)
Love you Helen!! That would ahve been so fun to do. I am jealous. I thought I would never day that about someone running a race:)
I saw that on Brady's facebook! That is so awesome of you! I think I'm starting to realize how scary it is to find out one of your parents has cancer. We just found out my dad has cancer and it is a horrifying thought but it tests your faith and can make you stronger thats for sure! I hope she's doing well! Way to go guys!
