am the 7th child of nine siblings. In 2010 we lost our oldest brother, David, to kidney cancer. To honor his memory most of David's siblings, a brother in law, sister in law, nieces and nephews run/walk the "I am Somebody 5K" which support the Kidney Cancer Association. It's a great way for our family to keep David's memory alive and support a great cause. This year's 5K was held on what would have been David's 53rd birthday. Happy Birthday David!!
Over the years, we have a huge rainbow of family T-shirts that espouse the accomplishments of one another. We also have a few hats that do the same thing! Our children have told us that they always say to their friends at life cycle events: “You will see my family. They will all be wearing the same shirt in one color”. By the way, we all wear the shirts: both bio family and the step relatives. It is a visual way of showing our children that we are behind them in one spirit.
