I think the highlight of the race was seeing Robb meet two Ravens cheerleaders after the race. He not only gave them a big aaaahhh, but also a very enthusiastic happy dance:) |
From my eyes, a sister's eyes...the life of Robb. A guy who is so much more than autism and down-syndrome.

ASA Race
A couple of weekends ago I was able to attend one of Robb's Athletes Serving Athletes races. In the races, Robb gets to participate in a 5K while getting pushed by a runner. I have always been a little skeptical of these races just because I feel Robb could do some running as opposed to just sitting there while the volunteers do all the work, but I still loved attending the race! It was so much fun to see everyone so excited to be there and cheering Robb on as he crossed the finish line still makes me smile. At a time when there is so much division around us, it felt good to be surrounded by a group of people all working together to make such a fun event. My parents were so inspired that they have decided we are all going to run it next year, but after spending the fall of my freshman year in Cross Country, I am a little reluctant to be out of breath while Robb just looks at me like "run faster." Instead, I hope to get Robb to run some of the race next year, so we can run across the finish line together!
