What a difference a year makes...


Lily and friends on the course
Last Sunday, on what turned out to be a perfect day for a 5K, team Cedarbrook proudly took part in the Lily's Hope 5K benefiting the Patty Pollatos Fund.  We sponsored this event in 2011 partly because the event's namesake, Lily Weaver, was a classmate and friend of our kids.  Last year Lily was just finishing intense treatment for cancer and had to watch the race from a distance.  This year, Lily proudly wore bid #1 and walked the race with all her buddies.  Truly, what a difference a year makes.  

Skipping to the finish line!
This year's race raised over $12,000.00 for the Patty Pollatos Fund, which raises money for families coping with cancer.  


The Frederick News Post has a great writeup about the race and the Weaver family.  You can read the full article here.

As Thanksgiving approaches all of us at Cedarbrook are counting our blessings for family, friends and community.  We hope each of you finds time to give thanks, share a meal and be with loved ones.

Have a great holiday - 
Mike
