Cash for Cancer Weekend

It has been a big week for the Cancer Center. Thursday night was the Lehi Roundup Rodeo which sponsors a 'Tough enough to wear Pink night'. They raise money to donate to the AF Cancer Center. This has become a favorite family tradition as we all go and support Craig and the fight against cancer.
Craig has been busy organizing the AF Canyon Half Marathon and 5K for months. Saturday was the big day and it went well. The race started at Tibble Fork and ended up at the High School. They were able to raise 60,000 dollars for Cancer patients who are unable to pay for their treatments. Can you imagine fighting cancer and on top of that worrying about how to pay for treatments. Many of Craig's employees volunteered long hours to this great cause. Friends and family volunteered (way to go Kate) for this and others signed up to run it. It has been a long sleepless week for Craig, we are proud of his endless service. It will be even bigger and better next year so get ready!


Awesome employee volunteers


Brady ran his best Half ever with a time of 1 hour 28 minutes placing 36 th overall.

The real check will be much, much more than $500.


Jane enjoyed the rodeo, mostly enjoyed the people watching. (That's my girl).



I spy some of our favorite neighbors

Hello Nice Camera! We were so excited to see you at the rodeo. Obviously we are not the only people watchers!

Does Craig work at AF hospital now?
