I am constantly impressed at what some of my friends can accomplish.
After months of training, this past weekend Brandi biked, swam, and ran in the Austin Danskin Triatholon, which supports The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Last November, my sister-in-law Laura finished the New York City Marathon in under 6 hours! And I believe she also did the Avon 3 Day Walk to support breast cancer research.
This year, at the end of November, Courtney will be running the AIDS Marathon in Florence and is currently raising money to help the fight to end AIDS.
It isn't a marathon or a triatholon, but Patrick and I have always wanted to run/walk the Austin Race for the Cure 5K. He has done it before and both his parents have participated, but I think its about time for me to do this and for Patrick and I to run it together. With both his mother and my aunt being breast cancer survivors, along with so many others, we want to support the Susan G. Komen Foundation and thought this would be a great way. So hopefully, come November 5th, we'll be running down by the Texas Capital.
About Us
- Ruth Ann & Patrick
- We're the Maxwells. The most recent one is Ruth Ann, and the other one, Patrick, has been one his whole life. We met back in the fall of 1999 at the University of Texas at Austin and got married September 24th, 2005. Yes, almost 6 years later. But it was worth the wait. :o) We live in Austin with our two cats, Calliope and Chloe while Patrick is trying to figure out how to bring a boxer puppy into the mix without the three ladies of the house knowing. And this is our blog. It is our journal of the first years of our marriage (and many of our friends as well.)
