5000 DASH ON THANKSGIVING

Alex and Rebecca Horton

Once again we were fortunate to be part of the Drumstick Dash for the Rescue Mission of Roanoke. We photographed 112 individuals/families participating in the 5k walk/run. Hopefully what we are doing will catch on next year. Since this event has become such a family event, Lee Clarke of the mission approached my son and I and asked us if we could come up with a way to photograph the families so they could have a memento of the day. So we did just that. The photographs we did yesterday were on line while the event was still going on, and the jpeg files of each group can be purchased for a $20 donation to the rescuse mission. So it accomplished a couple of things...extra money raised for the mission and a great photogaphic memory of how cold it was and how much fun you and the family had...If you would like to view the photographs, click out of the blog, click on the website, go to proofing, and enter the password: drumstick. Enjoy!

As in our early post about the Myer Family, there is always a story at any event, there were many stories happening yesterday, but one we had the blessing to be part of. The photo above is of Alex and Rebecca Horton who have been at the Womens Shelter at the Rescue Mission for 3 weeks. They were there doing their part in participating, encouraging and supporting all the runners and walkers as they crossed the finish line....Yes yesterday was Thanksgiving...and I am thankfull for people like Alex and Rebecca. So next year come and share your family story with us.
