The Thomas/Traver families had a great turn out at the Get Your Rear In Gear race on Saturday, June 2 in honor of Barb Thomas (mother/grandmother/aunt/sister) who is a colon cancer survivor of three years!!! Of the 50 of us that participated in the race, one made top-three, and two others placed first in their age group! Way to go “Barb’s Bunch of Believers!!”
