We took the family up to Liberty park yesterday to help out at the Psoriasis Awareness walk. I've got a good friend who's little girl has severe psoriasis, and she was the grand marshal. We went up a little early to help set up, and then did the walk together.
They had face painting and some little snacks and balloons, and the kids had a pretty good time.
Except of course for Kai "funtime". He warmed up a little later. Tia was so excited about her balloon she put it in her hair. I said she looked like an upside down exclamation point.
Here's the grand Marshal and her family. They are such a beautiful family. It was heartbreaking to see them struggle with this illness. She's doing quite a bit better now with a new medication. So happy for all of them.
Good experience for the kids to be part of the whole thing. Helps them develop that awareness. Sounds like it was a fun time too--even for Kai in the end.
I am a fitness instructor, AFAA certified personal trainer, and a mom of three. Most of the time I'm vegan, with some crazy "free" meals a couple times a week. I have a love/hate relationship with my yard depending on how much work it needs! I grew up in San Diego, and love the ocean. I scuba, but sometimes have panic attacks snorkeling. Given the choice between the superpowers of invisibility and flight, I'd pick flight in a heartbeat. I love my husband, and his patience with my crazy habit of getting into something that's well over my head.

Love the tall picture of Tia with the balloon, and funtime-Kai. That's a keeper.
