The 33rd annual River Bank Run/Walk for NF was held May 8, 2010 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.   Despite the cold and wind, our group walked the 5k in 59 minutes. I can’t tell you how inspiring it was to see all  those green NF shirts and people on the side lines cheering us on and asking, “What is NF?”  

This was my 4th year in participating in the Riverbank  Run/Walk and each year it continues to grow!  This year, there were more than 20,000 runners and walkers on the streets of Grand Rapids raising money for NF research. The group represented the largest gathering for this event in its 33 year history.  Crossing the finish line represented the culmination of hard work, determination and the power of human spirit.
 
Later in the day day we went to the Grand Rapids Museum for a night of fun. The girls that went with me got to meet Reggie Bibbs, Jessica Stone, the Hanlon family & Kristin Bradley & Rosemary Anderson to name a few.

This was a truly inspiring evening, with a lot of tears and quite a few laughs.  Thank you to all who went with me this year & I hope to see you again next time!
