My best friend/sister-from-another-mister, Liz, ran, for the second year in a row, on behalf of me in the CTF Cupid's Undie Run in DC. She raised almost $1,300 for NF research!
This was her last year, in mid run:
She flew us down to DC so we could see her run this year <3
I wanted to get her crossing the finish line- it was all sort of confusing and fast. And I failed. But this was her with "Teddy Roosevelt"
And with me
and me again!
A lot of tourists took this photo too. We're pretty famous now.
We are going to run with her next year! (yes, that means John, too!)
I thought I took a video of the entire start of the race, but I never hit 'record'. I only have the last 11 seconds of it. Double fail.
So the first part of the video is the last 11 seconds of the start of the race, and then a few seconds of the commotion AFTER the race:
And so everybody knows:
Liz is one of the most beautiful and generous people I know. We've been friends since 2001. We've been through a lot, and have seen each other grow. I am so lucky to know her and have her in my life.
This was her first visit to Boston in 2008. This picture was taken before she tried to drown me in the fountain.
See? :)
In 2009, she came to take care of me when I was recovering from cancer. I don't have any pictures of us together then :(
While she was taking care of me, she went for a run, and landed in the ER when a biker ran into her. Yet she still took care of me, even when she was dealing with a mild concussion. :,( <3
In late 2010, when our flight out of DC to Boston was delayed, she came to our rescue. She picked us up from Dulles. She let us stay in her place. AND she took us to some of her favorite DC spots
She came to visit in August 2011 a week before my surgery...
...partied with me the day before (and paid for a massage for me!! <3)
And was there FOR my surgery
I love you, Lizzy! You are my hero!
