March for Babies!

We received an award from March of Dimes today for being a $4,000 + in fundraising dollars. We raised $4,420.00 which is so awesome. Second place out of all the Stroller Strides franchises in America. We are hoping to raise more money this year with our goal being $5200, and come in first for SS across the country. I am so proud of the money we raised for such a great cause.

Organ Donor Dash

A group of us participated in the Organ Donor Dash this weekend and I have to say how proud I am of all ours Moms.

Sylvia and her son Bradley came in first for female and male walkers.

Accepting his trophy

Jenn pushed the double, Tanya, Claudia and I pushed the single, and Laura and Sarah ran solo (lucky). I am so proud of how well everyone did. I have to brag on Claudia who said she was not a runner and only signed up to do the walk. I was running the back half of the race and who do I see running her heart out???Claudia...and who ran the ENTIRE 5K when she said she was going to walk the 2K?? Claudia!!! I was so impressed with her drive and I have know told her there is no excuse as to why she can not run Beach to Bay with us (she told me the day before that she didn't think she could). I am so proud of all my Moms who came out to race for a great cause. Good job ladies!!! Job well done

January Mom of the Month

Our January Mom of the Month is:

 Kristen Gonzalez

Kristen Gonzalez has been a member of Stroller Strides since November 2009. She is an outstanding Mom, always has a smile on her face and is a ton of fun to be around. On top of being a full time Mom, she works weekends as a NICU nurse. Kristen has made awesome strides in fitness since starting SS. She was on one of our Beach to Bay teams (showing up for almost all our practice runs), and has toned all her muscles working out as hard as she does in class everyday. Her running has improved greatly and I can't wait to see her run this year's Beach to Bay as well. Kristen has an awesome personality and is always willing to hang to the back and welcome that new Mom on her first day of class. Alaina is such a great little kiddo, she's used to coming to class everyday and loves playing when class is all done. Alaina has crazy dance moves and will break it down with me after class on a regular basis.

  Congrats to Kristen for being this month's Mom of the Month. I am so glad you're a member of Stroller Strides of Corpus Christi!
