For the past couple of years the second Saturday in December I have bundled up and headed into Bellingham to participate in this.  Last year we had a Nor'easter and conditions were miserable.  There was snow and ice on the ground and freezing winds.  However, the energy of all the participants and their zany holidays outfits warmed our hearts. After we started walking we were so busy laughing we hardly noticed the cold . 

 

This is a cause near and dear to my heart.  My mother in law has had arthritis her entire life.  She is now crippled with it and it has been heartbreaking to see her health decline the past few years.  My sister in law also suffers with Rheumatoid arthritis.  It has affected my mother and grandmother as well.  Three years ago my neighbors teenage daughter was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis.  It seems like all of us know of someone with this disease.

 

Please click on the link below to see the Jingle Bell run website to see what it's all about.  My group is called Century 21 Bay Properties and our team name is 'House of Style'.  Why 'house of style' you ask?  I have asked my fellow Realtors to participate (House), and my daughter and her friends are all hairdressers (style).  I know it is a clever team name, right?

 

If you would like to donate to the cause follow the link bellow and look for our company/team name to make a donation.  Tis the season!
