Last Sunday marked our family's 6th time participating in the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes in Vancouver! TEAM DYLAN was there in full force, sporting our "Pumped for the Cure" team t-shirts and walking 5km around the Stanley Park seawall to raise money and awareness for this awesome organization and cause. The walk itself is a day that Dylan looks forward to all year. The showing of support by family and friends is so great, there are always diabetes related vendors with really cool new gadgets, and the atmosphere is one of hope, inspiration, and camaraderie.
This year, our local walk changed venues, and we had the pleasure of walking in Vancouver's Stanley Park. This huge downtown park is so beautiful, and on a sunny Sunday is packed with families, picnickers, runners, cyclists, walkers, rollerbladers, and sight seers. The weather could not have been better too, what a great day it was!
Sadly, I got so caught up in the moment and the excitement that I didn't take nearly as many photos as I usually do, but here are a few highlights of the special day.
