Waiting at the half way point in the race to give “our runners” support along the way.
This is Steve. He was hanging out along side the road with us waiting for the Robb Family to zoom past!
Max was having fun giving runners high fives as they passed by. He said, “Look at this mommy” and he stuck his hand out. Runners with huge smiles would give him HIGH FIVES as they ran by!
Emily getting excited to see her cousins come through the 1/2 way point!
Max says “GO MADDY”
Jeff arrives at the HALF WAY MARK looking strong, and slightly sweaty, with a smile on his face! Way to go, Jeff!! 
Matt arrives at the HALF WAY MARK looking good!! He even picked Max up and ran with him for awhile. Max was thrilled! Matt was exhausted!
Madison arrives at the HALF WAY MARK grabbing water in one hand and Emily’s hand in another! Looking good! How do you look so beautiful after 7 miles of running?
Jeff arrives at the finish line at 2:10:08!! OH YEA! That’s my cuz! Okay, truth be told, this is not exactly how he looked as he crossed the line! The guy ran the entire way at a good steady clip! I thought he was going to pass out when I saw him.
Matt arrives at the finish line at 2:33:54!! YES!!
Emily gives Matt a squeeze & gazes at him lovingly! She is so proud of her cousin!
Madison coming in for a strong finish!
Madison arrives at the finish line at 3:14:47 with support from her brother, Matt, & a fellow Denver Team Challenge member!! OH YEA!!
Her mom, Kathy, gives her a BIG HUG!

Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis – IBD – impacts over one million Americans and millions world-wide, but many suffer in silence because the symptoms are not something that are typically discussed. Crohn’s has affected the lives of my cousins and we support them! Jeff, Madison and Matthew each raised $3600 for the benefit of Crohn’s & Colitis Research. GO TEAM ROBB! YOU ROCK!
Madison, Emily, Matt & Max outside of the “Hula Grill” in Maui the day after Thanksgiving
What a wonderful surprise to find out that The Robb Family was in Maui the same time we were there. Wallace posted something on Facebook about our upcoming trip and they called us to let us know that they were already there. 
Madison & Emily in a loving embrace
Madison & Emily bonded pretty much immediately and had a love fest!
Matt & Max also bonded within a few seconds
Emily playing with some wierd mouth piece thing?!?! I tried to leave it in Maui, but she found it and told me that I had almost forgotten it.

The beautiful ‘n lovely Robb Family (Jeff, Kathy, Madison & Matthew)
I remember my mom every day, but on this day in particular. This was the day, two years ago, that she was freed from the pain of ovarian cancer that inevitably took her life. Although I feel immobolized at times with sadness, it also brings back incredibly strong wonderful memories of a person that lives on through me, my dad, my sister, her sister and many many others.

She traveled from Pennsylvania to California even though she wasn’t feeling well and put up a good front
In memory of a wonderful mom to me & Suzanne, a loyal & loving wife to my dad, a generous & giving Grandma/Nana to Brynn, Kedryn, Max & Emily, a kind & caring sister to Margie, a special Aunt, an honest, true friend to many and a best friend to those lucky few. Today and every day you remain a strong presence in my life and will always remain in my heart.
