Pay It Forward

We had a difficult time getting out the door, but we made it to the Fun Run. Wow, was it amazing. Right as we pulled up to the scene of dedicated runners, family, and friends, the race was scheduled to start. I glanced at the thermostat in our vehicle, and it read 24 degrees. I couldn’t believe all of these crazy people on a Saturday morning were willingly inhaling the freezing air. I’ve always admired runners, but never as much as this morning, as many of them ran to support a cause… our cause…and our family.

Oh, and family! I didn’t know you were all so physically fit! It inspired me enough to want to dust off my own tennies. From my youngest nieces and nephews to my 85 year old Grandmother, (Jace’s Great Grandma—anyone get a picture?), you were ALL awesome. Thank you, thank you.

Jace stayed a whopping five minutes, but it was enough for him to feel loved and supported. Hayden enjoyed running, and I watched the entire event with a warm heart despite the freezing air. Pay It Forward People and sponsors, you really know how to bring good people together. We love you all and hope next year to be among the giving instead of the receiving.
