Leah is training for a marathon in June. She is running to support the cause, to get in shape, to accomplish a goal, and in honor of our father, a Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma survivor. I believe this event takes place in early June, but no matter how many times I ask (and it's been quite a few), the date will not stick in my head. Blame it on the baby brain.Anywho, she with the immense help of my mother and fellow siblings, hosted a fundraising barbecue last weekend, which seemed to be quite a success. It is truly amazing to witness the kindness and generosity that the community displays for someone trying to accomplish such a positive, inspiring goal. Though, being part of the "Irish Catholic Kansas City Mafia" (which is not a real thing) tends to help matters slightly. I am quite proud of my little sissy, and can't wait hear the results from San Diego.

That is really awesome, go leah!
I love the "Irish Catholic Mafia" reference, I can totally relate. I think my grandpa, when he was still around, was a "made man" in Cincinnati's (german) equivalent :)
