What a wonderful cause! I love the whole concept of Girls on the Run! I ran in one of their fundraiser events a couple of years ago...and my car was broken into while I was at it! Lame! I am so glad you are working for such a fabulous program, and that Kaylee can be involved too!

Way to go Kaylee! And way to go Carrie for getting it all together and helping to bring a great cause like this to Mankato. And surviving all the preparations and the whole event. Relax a little now. Well, maybe in another week you can relax more. Get through your class first!
