Kate did the cross country meet once again, even after spending the three days prior at home with a stomach bug. She did great, but was hoping to make the top 30 like Nora had in 2016.
It was a wet and windy day. Dylan met her at the beach for a while, and kept her warm. As much as I’d like to have also gone to cheer her on, I could not go back there after taking Nora in 2017. She had wanted to go but couldn’t actually run at that point because her tumour was too far along. She was (of course) miserable…
Ms. Turco couldn’t find Nora’s jersey for Kate to wear (oh, how we miss Ms. B-D) but Kate was happy to be #8, her age. Ms. Turco took some great pictures of Kate and caught some great smiles, as she always had of Nora!

Kate is still keen to run the Scotiabank 5km. It’s so important to her that she will come home a day early from Ooch’s fall weekend at camp (WAC) so she can be in Toronto for the race! She was really upset when she learned that both WAC and Scotiabank were on the same weekend, so Dylan offered to drive up to camp on the Saturday to bring her home in time to run. Now that’s commitment (and worth supporting her as she raises funds for Dr. Jay Children’s Grief Centre)!
