"Leg it' done and dusted!

hi everyone...what an amazing feeling to go to leg it and run!

The event was held at guthridge lake in sale, and we were all a bit skeptical about the weather given we had such hot weather through the week...

melon must have smiled on us, and gave us a lovely morning with light drizzle...and it made a HUGE difference...thank goodness it wasnt HOT! There were a few who mentioned that eli must have helped do a rain dance...so THANKS MELON...

the day was a celebratory run/walk to celebrate the lives of those that are still battling lymphomas, myeloma and leukaemia (and other blood disorders), and to commemorate those whose lives may have been lost fighting these diseases....we were asked by Jenny to think about those affected with the disease and what it means to us...i dont think eli was lost on ANYONE...and im pretty sure we ALL felt him with us today...

Thanks to everyone who came to support us and team 'melonhead'...it meant HEAPS to pete and i...we had petes brother phil who was heading back to melbourne, vicki from buchan, b (baby kate) and lisa (with darcy and amber) from the BLA, aunty jen, cousin casey and cousin in-law stacey who walked, as well as megan, megans mum (im a bugger, i cant remember her name, so hi mum!) and megans sister emma who cut a few laps around the course...those guys came down from traralgon, and thanks to our mate bec (and bub jess) for helping us as well! great nan olive also turned up to say gidday!

it was a delight to know that so many people did it for eli...so THANX TO ALL OF YOU! mmmwwwaaahhh

enjoy some pics we took of the day (some are a bit rough because of the weather!)

love to all

I might of forgot to mention...this is the little trophy we won from last years 'worlds greatest shave' when pete raised money on behalf of eli...we got 9th out of vic/tas and we were just sooo proud! So thanks everyone for supporting us so well...we hope to go EVEN better this year, with our 'team melonhead' target of $30,000...we have reached about $7,000 with a few weeks to go...so if you havent sponsored us yet, and are still thinking about it...get on board!
love and hugs
