Last year, at about this time, we went to our first CureSMA Race-n-Roll. The weather was horrible that Saturday morning with thunderstorm warning and a lot of rain. The turn-out was low because of the weather; instead of about 20 families (I think), only 4 or 5 families came. There was even a young lady with SMA whose name I forgot, but if I see her again this year, I'll make it a point to get to know her better.

It was during that race that we met Emily Green (Picou), her daughter Aubrey and the rest of their family. Emily wrote the "recipe" for the Amino Acid diet for us and even gave us a whole box of Tolerex and other supplements! We did not really get into the AA diet full-time until about a month after the race. We are very thankful to Emily for getting us started on the AA diet, which I personally feel has helped Jojo a lot. One of these days, I'll write more about our AA diet experience.
Anyway, we are planning to go to the Race-n-Roll in Baton Rouge next weekend. We hope the weather will be much nicer than last year so that there will be a bigger turn-out. Of course, now there is the swine flu.
