Another year has come and gone. This year marks the 12th annual Mary's Walk. There was a great turn out today, even though the air was frigid. Thousands of people walked and ran to raise money for the Maine Cancer Foundation. Alyssa ran it this year. The rest of us walked it. It's a 3 mile race/walk. Everyone starts at Thornton Academy High School on Main St., we walk around Saco and meet back up at The Kerrymen Pub, also on Main St. If you're interested in checking it out, go to www.maryswalk.org.
Maggie looks thrilled to be here...not. It actually looks like she's rolling her eyes at us.

Andrew and his Mom
This is where all the runners and walkers meet after the race. There is so much food to be eaten, donated by the local businesses. They also give out awards back here.
We met up with Cole and Quinn afterward. Their parents, Abby and Kirk both ran.
Maggie chose a nice healthy hot dog to eat.
More of the crowd gathered around. It's a great event every year. Lots of money raised for cancer!! The gentleman up and over to the left, in the green sweatshirt and blue undershirt is Matt Libby. He is the son of Mary, whom the Mary's Walk is named after. He is friends with my sister and a close friend of the Tripp family.
