This year's event was extraordinary for many reasons.
1. Katie ran/walked the entire 5K. Before she had only run the 100-yard dash.
2. Cooper completed the race in 24:11, beating last year's by more than three minutes. He came in sixth in his age group, but first among all 12-year-old boys.
3. Katie was joyful the entire event. In previous years, she was understandably emotional and at times despondent.
4. Our team was the most visible, thanks to the super-fun T-shirts designed by our dear friend Jenny Morgan.
5. Our team raised $1,610 for brain cancer research!
Big thanks to our donors!

This list represents family members, best of friends, friends from church, friends from Bledsoe Elementary, longtime neighbors, friends of friends, one of my Dallas Business Journal colleagues from 1992-93. This list is a small peek into the kind people who continue to surround our family and who remind us of what love looks like.
Here are a few photos of the joy from the day.

Thanks for sharing! One day I will be there with y'all.
Dear Tyra,
I found your blog from this article by Sharon Grigsby: http://checkonsteve.blogspot.com/2014/09/life-and-death-go-on.html
I'm a brain Cancer survivor and wanted to thank you and your team for the money you have raised to help find the cure.
Also, I will be praying for you and your family from here on out.
Sharon Wang
