The 5k and fun run were the important part of the day, though. It was the Miles for Midwives run, which is put on by the Alabama Birth Coalition. In Alabama, it's illegal for a midwife to attend a home birth and that's just ridiculous. Home birth certainly isn't for everyone, but everyone should have the choice to have one if they want, and to be able to do it safely and with the help of a trained midwife. This run (which I went to last year, too) helps to raise both money and awareness to help get midwife-assisted home births legalized.
This year's shirt is wicked awesome, too.
