This past weekend Isabella & I decided to join Mom & Dad at Dell Diamond in JDRFs Walk to Cure Diabetes. A little girl in Mom's class, Hadley, was diagnosed last year with type I juvenile diabetes. The past year has been quite an endeavor for her & her family, although, you would never know it with the amount of courage both her & her mom have. "Hadley's Circle of Friends" raised the 3rd highest amount of money for the walk behind Dell & WellsFargo...pretty amazing. It was so sweet to see so many of the children from the school there walking alongside Hadley & all of their supporting parents.
Go Team!

As any great walk for children should be, there were many opportunities along the way for distraction....

What a great cause! And what a great crowd she had! And very cute shirts I might add :)
That's too cool, Alice. I'll add Hadley to my prayer list. :0)
What an awesome event! Kids are just so amazing aren't they! The way they all got together and went to this for their classmate is incredible! Way to go Guajardos/Kempers!!
I can only imagine how much that meant to Hadley. What an awesome thing!
