[Kirstin Clapham, Tate and Drew's mommy, writing about the Beach Babes CheerTent at Santa Clara Point]
I recruited Tate the Sticker Man this year. He did a great job! "Would you like a sticker?". "Thanks for walking." Tate was such a trooper and a big
hit with the walkers. Our group received such awesome feedback from people, walkers and public alike. Thank you's all around. If you ever get the chance to participate in this awesome event in some way you should, it is amazing. Every little bit helps. Tate and Drew were in great spirits the entire THREE hours we were at the Cheer Tent. He was very in to his "job"
and wanted to stay longer ("There's more stickers, Mom. They're still
walking!") but I rounded them up around 2:30 and they both fell asleep on the way home :-)
I included a few shots of the day. We wrote names down for our loved ones , currently fighting the disease, have lost the fight, or those who are survivors. The names stretched about a block down the boardwalk. Quite a sight. I think walking with us in the Race for the Cure helped Tate grasp
the concept of today. He kept seeing the people in pink and saying "they're walking a really, really long, long way to help people! To make them stronger!" I'm so proud of Tate and love him so!
