You were the first runner to sign up. They said you would get Bib #1. I hope that is so. I'll pass the word along about your husband.

So this was my first 5k and first hope steps and a cure (I volunteered at the bethematch walk run) if you haven't been I strongly reccomend! It was such an amazing experience of comradery, true hope and the most determined group of people I have ever met. I saw a woman about to have a transplant running!
Anyway weather it's volunteering, running, walking, or even signing up the littles for tot trot its a fun way to give back to an organization that has given a lot to many of us
