Footsteps for Fertility

Jake and I suffer from in-fertility. It's not something we like to talk about but we are realizing the blessings that come as we are more open about it. This weekend we were able to run in a race that raises money for couples in similar situations. Our families were our biggest supporters. My siblings were able to come run with us, while Jake's family cheered us on from hundreds of miles away. We are so grateful for all the love that we have felt as we continue to take steps that will hopefully one day allow us to have children of our own.

It was a truly amazing and humbling experience as we watched and awaited raffle winners to be announced from the race. Footsteps for Fertility were able to give away 10 prizes. These prizes awarded couples either free or half off fertility treatments. We didn't win anything on Saturday but we felt so much joy for these hopeful couples as their names were called. It was "an emotional experience" as Jake described it.

Here is the BEFORE

and the AFTER

Thank you family!
