SATURDAY...

10:00 a.m.... be there or be square. I can't post enough precious photos to drum up business for the Bell Center's Runners. This, in my humble opinion, is the BEST part of the Mercedes Marathon Weekend in Birmingham. Great cause, great kids, great parents...... my heart.

I Love Bell Runners!

Forgive me if I overdo the cute photos this week but I LOVE the BELL RUNNERS. That's the run shortly before the Kids' Mercedes Marathon Run this coming Saturday. It benefits the FABULOUS Bell Center for Early Intervention and is the best event I have the privilege to photograph all year long.

Running For A Great Cause

Saturday was the Bell Center's Run and the Kids' Marathon, all part of the huge and successful Mercedes Marathon Weekend!  I was on hand to photograph the whole shebang and the Bell Center kiddos was so fabulous I can't even count how many photographs I want to share with you. Today, they were off and running, walking, being pushed by proud parents and walking or pushing walkers. No matter how they got to the finish line, they were all winners.

Tomorrow I go back to photograph the big boys and girls running that marathon. I have a sneaking suspicion they won't be quite as much fun as the Bell Kids!
