Erin Rivet, Kathy's daughter, is gearing up to run in her second 5K in memory of her mother. If you don't know Erin personally, running probably won't make her top 10 list of things she loves to do, but honoring her mom's memory would be right at the top of that list.
And if it takes a run to put her mother first, she would do it. Erin was a dedicated daughter and would do just about anything for her mom.
This is a portion of an email I received from Erin last year, after her first 5K run.
"My mom was my true inspiration while I was running. I wanted to walk so bad. I just kept telling myself that my mom didn’t give up and she kept going when she wasn’t feeling the greatest. Some of my friends gave me an angel necklace after she passed. I wore the necklace at the race and held it when I felt like I wanted to stop running. It was a great feeling knowing that I finished the race for her."
I can't physically be in Wisconsin on May 12 to encourage Erin, but I can help Erin reach her goal of raising $550 toward finding a cure for cancer. If you would like to join me in a donation to the American Cancer Society their are two ways to do so.
