Last Saturday was Old Bill's Fun Run in Jackson. For the past 12 years the event has helped local charities raise over $60.5 million and has touched the lives of thousands. Over 3,000 people participate by running a 2k, 5k or by walking. Costumes and dogs are encouraged making this a fun event for everyone. Finishing on the Town Square, we celebrated with a free breakfast while visiting all the participating non-profit booths. My 3 year old had a great time at CLC's booth. He and his buddy got a sun painted on their cheeks, played in "moon sand" and made friendship bracelets. During all this, our Farmer's Market is in full force. This is an event that I try not to miss. We load up the kids in our stroller, meet our friends at the starting line and enjoy a gorgeous fall morning. Just makes you feel good..health wise for getting out in the fresh air and spiritually knowing that you are part of helping others. I feel it is a fantastic opportunity to teach my kids important values including compassion, gratitude, and community.
