A few months ago Taylor and I heard about an event that was being put on by Pound the Pavement for Parenthood. It was an education event about infertility and other related topics. There were some doctors that came and spoke at the event and we got to hear from a couple that went through IVF. It was a really great event to attend. It gave us a lot of information and some hope for our situation. We learned more about the organization and it is amazing what the organization does. They put on 5ks to help couples with IVF and adoption costs. They also are there to give hope and support to couples going through infertility.
The next 5k they have is in Orem next Saturday August 3rd. Taylor and I have been running for the past little while to get ready for it and we are going to be participating in our first 5k! They announced they will also have a raffle for a free IVF cycle or 50% off cycles. We aren't counting on winning anything. We are just so excited to help other couples going through infertility and get to know others who are struggling with the same thing. Neither of us have ever done a 5k or even been interested in running but we have really enjoyed it as we have been going out preparing for this 5k.
My best friend is also going with us on the 5k and has been running with us. Its great to have the support. A lot of family won't be able to attend with us and put in for the raffle because there is a wedding in the extended family that day as well.
We are really excited for the race and can't wait for it to come next week!
