JUST TRYAN IT 2019

What I love about the JUST TRYAN IT Foundation is Kids Helping Kids and Families Helping Families! It's a win-win all around in volunteering for this wonderful organization, now in its 10th year in helping families with financial distress while their child is undergoing cancer treatment.

It was an early morning that my family and I, and "The Best Daughter's" BFF, Liz Verrecchia,  trekked out of our homes and to the Episcopal High School (a lovely and sprawling campus) in Alexandria, Virginia, for our volunteer duties. All volunteers had a pre-race meeting and then awaited for almost 175 racers between the ages of 5-12 (give or take a year) to arrive.

If you click this link, more info about the foundation and the impact they are having through the funds raised in each event will simply amaze you:  https://justtryanit.com/alexandria/

Every year we cannot believe how much inspiration we receive from the racers, their families and the sponsors. It's doing good work for sure! I am thankful that my family can volunteer at this awesome event each year and in multiple locations!

If local and interested in helping this organization, why not check out this link for their 10th Anniversary Party (Orange Crush Cancer Party) at Ivy City Smokehouse in Washington DC on October 12th, 2019.

BSoleille! The bright side of "it takes a village" to put on this race! And really, who is having more fun, the racers, or the volunteers?
