MOCA Walk!

We raised money and participated in the MOCA (Minnesota Ovarian Cancer Alliance) Walk in September.  This is the second year we have participated and we will continue raising money and walking in order to raise awareness for Ovarian Cancer.  THANK YOU to everyone who donated!
 
Jane, Ben's mother, was diagnosed with Stage 3C Ovarian Cancer a little over two years ago.  I remember thinking how is that possible?!?!  Jane was extremely 'healthy' and took great care of herself before the cancer diagnoses.  It was then that it really sunk it.... Cancer doesn't discriminate.  It's just not fair. Ovarian Cancer had reared its ugly head in the Fisher Family. 
 
Jane is still 'fighting' her battle and doing a damn good job of it.  She's embracing life, enjoying it to the fullest and is still taking great care of herself :)
 
With that said, please take a minute to familiarize yourself with the symptoms of Ovarian Cancer.  It is a very silent disease in the early stages.  http://mnovarian.org/
 
Lots of Teal!



 
We arrived about an hour before the walk started so let the kids run around and play on the playground!

 
Look at all those supporters / survivors!  I can't even begin to explain the atmosphere.  It's amazing to see everyone come together for the same, very important cause.



 
This picture is a little out of order.  I took this picture of the boys before we left the house for the walk.  The kiddos received little Strider Ovarian Cancer T Shirts!



 
Typical Tyler...  Meltdown time when we took him away from the playground!

 
Time to walk!


 
Chelsea really wanted to walk for Grandma Jane!

 
Amazing


 
Still walking for Grandma Jane!


 
We stopped by Applebees for lunch on our way home.  All that walking made us hungry :)
