8th Annual Race for Ian

What is hemophilia? It's a blood disorder which a person's blood does not clot properly due to a missing clotting component. Treatment alone cost about 100k a year! 

A Race for Ian is an event hosted by a family affected by the blood disease. All the proceeds raised during this annual event goes to finding a cure for Hemophilia.
I first met the family three years ago while looking for daycare for my son. The mother is the owner of Little Bo Peeps and runs an excellent program that prepares the children for future academic success. The family is the sweetest with hearts of gold. Their son, Ian, battles with the danger blood disorder. 

This was my first time running this annual event and I came in with the time of 38:25. I plan to run this event each year to support this family's cause and will improve my run each year.
