Walk for Owen Michael Backer

Two months ago Jim's sister Julie lost her son Owen Michael Backer at birth.  The SHARE Foundation

http://www.nationalshare.org/ supports those who lose a child during pregnancy or the first few months of life.  They had a 5k walk to support their cause last weekend in St Louis.  Since we couldn't make it there this weekend for it, we registered for the walk, got the T-Shirt which included Owen's name on it, and planned on walking the 5k here at the same time as the walk in St Louis. 

We had orignally planned on walking a 5k trail around the lake next to our house, but due to the rain we walked the subdivision because the path would have been too muddy.

We walked the surrounding streets of our neighborhood and while we walked we noticed there was the start of beautiful foliage as the leaves are just beginning to change here in the Peidmont region of NC.

Here is the entrance to our subdivision:
