    Thank you so much for this!! You know I am totally proud of you for what you did, but also what it stands for. I have had many miscarriages, and I have tears streaming down my face right now because I am so proud of you.

    Wow! Way to go! I ran a 5k as well today, didn't win a prize, but took 30 sec. off my time from the week before. Thank you for running for such a great cause. It means so much to me, as I am a bereaved parent. I lost my 17 yr. old son almost 3 years ago while were were vacationing at Disney. He suffered a massive brain hemorrhage upon entering the gates of the Magic Kingdom. Two days later he was pronounced brain dead and we donated his organs. My 5k was dedicated to him today, as it was a race raising money for our local transplant organization. So your story really hit home for me, and I was glad to hear of an event raising money to help bereaved families. Also nice to hear of organizations out there that offer support like that. There is nothing here where I live for families like mine.

    What a great victory for you today! Oh and it's ok to let that emotion go, it is well deserved!
