2014 Cade Maryland Race for the Family

9/17/2014

On Saturday September 13th, Lee and I attended our second Cade Maryland Race for the Family event. The weather forecast was iffy, and we were concerned it would get rained out. Luckily the rain held out until we were literally driving away after the event, so that was great! 

The Tinina Q. Cade Foundation is a great local organization that helps couples struggling with infertility and the cost of treatments and/or adoption. They graciously awarded Lee and I a $5,000 Family building grant for 2014 which we used to pay for our IVF egg retrieval in July.

Very good friends of ours, who actually went to Shady Grove to conceive their son, joined us in support and it was great having them there with us. Lee and Stephanie decided to run the 5k, while Heather, Liam and I walked the family friendly 1 mile loop.

The Shady Grove physician's tricycle race was cut throat and hilarious to witness! There was a children’s musician and Lee and I were able to entertain Liam…or maybe he was entertaining us!  Either way it was fun and he's so adorable. There was a tent with children's activities sponsored by Savannah's Playground, and "sister" organization to the Cade Foundation. They also had snacks and various fertility vendors were there giving away swag.

It’s great to see how the Cade Family grows each year and I can’t wait until Lee and I can bring our own child to this great event in the future.
