Help Us Raise Money!!

As you know, I have been in training for the Broad Street Run in Philly. The race is Sunday May 3rd, and it actually looks like I'm going to do it! I really wasn't sure I would make it this far...

When I originally signed up to do the race, it was just for fun. However, I found out that you can also raise money for the American Cancer Society through the race. I figure, I'm already running 10 miles, might as well have a reason for it!

So, I enlisted the help of Paxton (only partly because he is way cuter than I am!) and together we are seeking to raise $1000 for the American Cancer Society. That's only 50 people donating $20 each...I think we can do it!!

Donating is really simple. All you have to do is click on this picture and donate!! Any little bit will help!

While I am running the race, Paxton is also working to raise money. Paxton will be writing books and selling them, and donating the money to our cause.

We are both VERY excited about this, and can't wait to see people's lives changed! In the last year Pax and I have both faced the prospect of losing our fathers to this horrible disease, and we want to do everything we can to help prevent others from dealing with the same thing.

Please pray about helping in any way you can. I can't wait to share God's goodness through all of this...raising the money AND giving me the strength to actually (hopefully!) accomplish this goal of 10 miles! Both seem like pretty daunting tasks, but I am learning to trust in His strength and not my own!
