Run for a Reason

Richard and I had decided a few months ago to walk the half marathon for St Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis TN. Our son and his fiance' will be running the full marathon. We began going out to our military park and walking everyday. at least 4 times per week, slowly, steadily, working our way up to that 13 mile mark. His gall bladder threw a ringer in that plan. He had to have surgery, but in the mean time the half marathon filled up. We could not register and now probably couldn't walk anyway. Soooooo I decided to sign up for the 5K, now mind you we won't be running that either but it is doable at this point. We are accustom to walking that distance.

If you are so inclined I ask that you go to the  web page and make a donation...no matter how small or large, to help with the research at this hospital. A friend's young son, Luca, is a patient  battling liver cancer. So go ahead and participate with us in the fight against childhood disease, check out the team page and GO TEAM LUCA!!! Here is the link again....and you know  what?  Thank you we really appreciate your support.
