When we arrived at the park we quickly found my mom, dad, brother (Happy Birthday) and his family who all came equipped with their signs of encouragement. At the starting line there must have been a few thousand people filling the streets. I’m happy to report that I ran the majority of the 5km run with Steve and his cousin Tyler by my side. As I approached the finish line, my family and their signs stuck out from the crowd. There were a few tears but for the most part I managed to keep it together.
I am also proud to report that I had $4,138.25 in sponsors for the fun. In total over $544,000 was raised at the London run for Breast Cancer research. Amazing.
Thank you to all of you for your support.

Dear Kim
We are all so proud of you here in England and I'm not ashamed to say I had tears in my eyes when I looked at the photos with you and your lovely family.
You are one amazing lady and your inspiration to us goes on and on.
Lots of love from us all

Dearest Kim:
Just wanted to let you know how "PROUD'" Dad and I are of you. We knew you would do it. I don't know of any goal that you've set that you haven't achieved.
What was really amazing were all the people who had your name on their backs and running for you. You have some very wonderful friends.
I have never seen your father more proud as he held his sign for the world to see, and I had many people come up to me and say how lucky we were. I told them we are truly blessed.
The whole experience was so full of positive energy and very inspirational with the thousands of people that were there.
When you crossed the finish line with Steve and Tyler, I think the Lincoln Clan let out the biggest yell. Andrew and Sean were so happy to see their Mom and Dad.
Chris and I were interviewed by the Fanshaw college reporter, and I think the camera girl was also from there. Chris told her he couldn't have gotten a better birthday present than seeing his sister run for the cure.
Well Kim, you have done an amazing job and all those donations will help others who need it.
You are my "Hero".
Love you always
Mom
I'm so proud of you Kim!! Aunt Carole, you made me cry once again!
Love Tammi
Kim,
You had me crying tears of pride when I saw you and Steve striding for the finish line. Proud doesn't seem to be a strong enough word for how I felt, and for how you make us all feel.
It is truly the best birthday present I've ever had.
Thank You.
Love Chris
Way to go Kim! And the pictures are simply amazing - no words to describe how impacting and moving they are.

Dear Kim, you looked radiant on the run day. I got a great picture of you and Steve. I wished I had seen you run, but I was in the crowd of the thousands walking the 1km. A wonderful day was had by all. Congrats Kim, you have come a long way.. Thanks for the wonderful bus ride.
Take care.. Miss Jennifer
Dear Kim:
Just read your latest instalment and had a look at the pictures of the race. You look so great!
I have been reading your blogs faithfully and have learned so much from you and about you. And you have such a fantastic group of supporters!
I plan on being at the "Grad Club" on October 13 around 5:00, if you are in the area!!!
Take care, Sandra Doyle
