Middlemiss Big Heart 5k

Today we ran the Joey Middlemiss Big Heart 5k.  Scott Middlemiss is the kids' former elementary
school vice principal, and also a former work colleague of mine (20 years ago in Norwalk, CT!).  Six years ago, Scott lost his eldest son (age 6) to cardiomyopathy.  Their second child, Jack,  who was an infant when Joey passed away, also has the same heart condition.  Jack was a granted the gift of a heart transplant I think about 1 1/2 years ago.  Their life is not easy, but Jack is doing great.  The foundation that Scott and his wife created aims to spread kindness, empower children, fund cardiomyopathy research, and support families dealing with pediatric cardiac conditions.  We were so happy to be a part of this remarkable event today.  💙
