Here we are, another wild and crazy month in to 2022! It's been busy, but Little Buddy has been a happy kid through all of it, which is all we care about.
First off, we finished off ANOTHER Charity Challenge season for The Woodlands Marathon! Not only did Little Buddy run a great race, but he finished FIRST again in the Challenge, raising nearly $30,000 for Sanfilippo research! He's amazing.
Getting another training run in before race day!
Smiles for the rest of the day...you could tell how proud of himself he was!
All that running and fundraising paid off! Little Buddy is the winner of the Charity Challenge!
The next week was the Half and Full Marathons. This is normally when Momma WILLPower runs and Daddy WILLPower mans the cheer tent with Little Buddy and Little Sweetie. Unfortunately, Daddy's work procedure hit at the exact same time as the race and he had to work for 48 hours straight. This meant friends had to take over the cheer tent and Little Buddy didn't get to go cheer in person this year (Little Sweetie's babysitter kindly brought her up to cheer). It was rough not having my favorite guy on the course (it was also rough because the heat and humidity was a NIGHTMARE after a season of cold weather training), but we all did the best we could. And Little Buddy definitely cheered us on from home (he didn't mind getting to sleep in either)!
Our motivation. Race day this year also happened to occur on our diagnosis anniversary. Just a lot that weekend, but we pushed through.
Although the race took up most of our month, we still several other things to celebrate!
