Running for a Cause

A week from Saturday. It's SO close. I haven't blogged as much as I have wanted to. I've had more analogies than I have posted here...but I have enjoyed training. I'm really glad that I only have to run 6 miles on Saturday and I'm SUPER excited about seeing Amber and running our race. I have run 341 miles since June 1st and I'll add a few more before the 26.2. I really excited because I've always wanted to run for a cause, but never really taken the opportunity to. I hope that this the begginning of many races run to raise money for others.

I'll be running in honor of Jenn Goodwin and in memory of Chelsie Rippe.

Jenn's Story: God put Jenn into remission while pregnant her second child John David. After talking with two OB/GYN's she finally found a doctor who would care for her during pregnancy. The first OB declared she was a liability and abortion was her only option. Her and her husband quickly agreed abortion was NOT a possible solution to her illness! She prayed for a doctor who would treat her while having Leukemia , and she found Dr. Chris Duggar (a devout Christian). He prayed with her after every appointment and as quickly as she became ill, she started becoming well. Within a month she was in the early stages of remission! Both of Jenn and David’s children were conceived during Leukemia, and both are beautiful, healthy, and walking miracles! Jenn and I share the message that hope is never lost and, with the good Lord's help all is possible!
