September 13

Quick post here. Today is a special day here in the Mikulak household...

Our little Nicky turns 5 today and isn't so little anymore!



We're celebrating as a family tonight and then this weekend will be holding a birthday party for Nicky and his buddies.

Max Run was on Saturday and a great success! We'll post a more complete entry about it later, but preliminary estimates are that it generated over $12,000 in money that will directly be applied to research and clinical trials for kids fighting cancer. Christine Bowen/Sole Warrior Sports did an awesome job playing ringmaster, and all the volunteers, vendors, sponsors and attendees we can't thank enough for making this first annual event a success! We were especially glad that Team Sam showed up and ran, as did Kalea's Cancer Crew and other folks running in honor/memory of those affected by cancer.

Today, September 13 is Childhood Cancer Awareness Day. 'Course we think (and live/breath) every day around here as childhood cancer awareness day so its really not that different for us.

Happy Birthday Nicky! You are the most awesome 5 year old! Nana and Tata love you THIS much!

The Max Run was special in every way... Another $12,000 to find the cure for these kids. It doesn't get better than that.

Love, Nana
