We heard about this race two weeks ago at London's Run. This was a fundraiser to help a couple of girls that are joined at the heart. They weren't supposed to live for more than a few hours, but now they're two. From the website: "Emma and Taylor are our 2 year old twins that are also conjoined, sharing one common heart and liver. They are face to face, from the breast bone down to the belly button. They have their own arms and legs, and certainly their own personalities. Taylor has a twinkle in her eye and always being silly. Emma is more reserved and loves to be cuddled. At age two, they have beaten the odds at survival and we hope to have many, many more years with them."
Burt, Mary, and AJ all ran the 5k. There were over 200 runners. Burt came in 6th overall, but 1st in his age division! AJ did really well coming in 56th overall and 3rd in his AD. Mary came in at 113th and 2nd in her AD. This was the first time Mary has run a 5k and she did an amazing job. The race was alot of fun. Since they got a first place, second place, and third place in their respective age divisions, they got one of each color flower. The local elementary kids made these ceramic flowers, and that's what was used as awards. Pretty cool.
