Team Drea Foundation

Last week in Orlando, @catrike treated us to another wonderful tour of their factory. Just like my first time, I got goosebumps imagining the lives these little babies are going to change 🥹

💚Also, if you’re local, join Team Drea at the @thecarytheater to see a special screening of Dr. B’s new documentary, @stitchingstrength, presented by The 5 Rotary Clubs of Cary on 11/13 at 7pm.💚 Visit our link in bio for tickets, donations, and the article! 💚2/2

“…My mantras for keeping my legs going were ‘fuck you, ALS’, and ‘this is for __, this is for _, …’ and filled in as many HAS sisters I could name. I don’t know how many more 5ks I have in me, but this was a special one.” Perfectly said 👌 💚2/2

On Saturday, our @heralsstory sister Elizabeth @lizardbreathhhy did the virtual @solacoffee Hot Mini 5k on her @catrike in Lynchburg, VA. She said, “Slow and shaky but I did it! My bestie and Sally dog too…” 💚1/2
