Team Alec Take Two!

Alec is keeping us in good shape...a 5K in November, ice fishing tourney, a 5K in March and a Triathlon coming up in July! He is making sure we are living our best and healthiest life possible, no couch potatoes here!

We finished the second Team Alec event within 5 months of Get Your Rear in Gear...Mary's Walk, a 5K in downtown Saco, Maine which raises money for the Maine Cancer Foundation. We had over 25 runners and walkers, a couple of cheerleaders, and, of course, a baby who slept through his 3rd 5K! And...Jack Martin, age 6 ran his first 5k! This kid is awesome! Most fish, biggest fish for the Alec ice tournament and now completed a 5k! Alec is in awe I bet.

Alec's sister Charlotte led this team and we had so much fun and the weather couldn't have been more fantastic.

Thank you ALL who came out, ran, walked, donated, cheered, supported, prayed, etc. We are so blessed and I know we are making Alec so proud. He really is living on and I am so, so grateful. The days like yesterday are the days that keep me going, being surrounded by family, friends, church, it makes me so happy.

From Mary's Walk Website:

"Mary’s Walk and Kerrymen Pub 5K wish to thank all the participants, volunteers, sponsors and our host, the City of Saco, who made the event a great success! The 14th annual event would not have been possible without our great community of supporters. With your help, Maine Cancer Foundation makes a difference by providing grant funding for cancer research, education and patient support programs."

And, Alec is in the news again...awesome! Yay Charlotte!

"Family and friends of the late Alec Cyr of Kennbunkport, who died in November at age 35 from colon cancer, sported matching camouflage shirts in his memory."He was a fisherman, marathoner and mountain climber," said his sister, Charlotte Cyr of Kennebunk.

A year ago, she said, her brother urged her on when she ran in the road race.

"Now I want to raise awareness about colon cancer so no one has to go through what he did," she said.

Silly Jen...trying to get on the Ellen show with her Irish jig! Love it! She sure knows how to make me laugh! Lets hope she gets on!
