Yesterday I came together with 10 other friends living with MBC to honor our friend Katie. It was a hot day, just like Katie would have loved.
Katie was a runner, PTO mom, and advocate. She was kind, funny, and tenacious. Her daughter’s school PTO put together this 5k in her honor; Her husband, Mike, designed the shirts; Her youngest daughter (that Katie was pregnant with when she was diagnosed with MBC) announced the “GO!” for the participants; And about 400 folks walked/ran/skipped/rolled across the finish line in honor of Katie.
It’s been two years of seeing most of our Young MBC group on little zoom boxes and it was LOVELY to see and hug these beautiful women in person. This community is something special and we wouldn’t be who we are today without Katie or her legacy.
Thank you Glover PTO, Mike, and all who showed up to honor Katie!
