Saturday I got up at 5am and drove to Fullerton for the Donate life 5K walk/run...
Maggy's family, Delia and Jim's family and Julie's mom and I were the ones to go and be on Julie's team. Jim, Tabin, Manuel, and the older girls ran and the rest of us walked. I pushed Julie in the wheelchair and never dumped her. It was a mixed path, half paved, half dirt trail.... we only got air once and Julie gave a girlie yell that she then wondered where it had come from! =)
We had alot of fun laughing most of the way which caused her mom to not know if I ever needed help or if we were doing just fine. Her mom also kept threatening to give me driving lessons... where the heck does that come from, I never crashed Julie, came darn close but never did! That's all that matters!
Next year Julie will be sporting classy new lungs and wearing a shirt that says DOUBLE LUNG RECIPIENT!!
She also said she would LOVE to be on a team with her donor family too!!!!
BREATHE LIFE!!!!
