Race for Ryleigh Grace

This past Saturday, we walked in the March for Babies (March of Dimes) at White Rock Lake in honor and support of Ryleigh Grace Cox along with 35,000 other DFW residents. Our church small group showed up in huge numbers and we all sported our lime green "Race for Ryleigh Grace" t-shirts. We even won the t-shirt contest! Ryleigh is doing so well and hopefully will get to come home soon! It was so wonderful to walk in honor of all the babies that are born prematurely each year. On our walk there was a "Path of Life" with posters honoring or memorializing local children which helped open my eyes to what March of Dimes stands for and fundraises for. What an amazing organization! We are so thankful for everyone who committed to walk and didn't let the rain scare them away, and for all the donations our team received!

Here's Robbie accepting the t-shirt award on behalf of the Cox's

They wanted him to model it as well! How funny!

I think he just wanted to carry his sweet girl)

Can you tell Kaelyn was tired at the end?
