OH yea 102% so far on my fundraising! I still have time to get some more in there! I am sooo pumped for Arizona. I got my packet and info for the race and am ready to go. I have 1 more 20 mile run on Saturday. I hope the weather cooperates. We have a ton of snow right now. BUT God has provided simply beautiful Saturday's for every run we have had so far so I know it will be a good run. I have been training this week so I am ready to kick the 20 miles butt! :)
More to come later.......

Made it!!!!! Thanks to my sweet daddy, I met my goal of $3850!!! I am so blessed for my parents. They are my rock and are always there for me. I have so many things in my life that are amazing and I am so thankful. I am glad to do my part & help others. I know I am not doing much but if I can help 1 person with blood cancer's all this hardwork was well worth it. I am 3 weeks away from heading to Arizona. I can't wait.

Well I did it! 20 miles under my belt. It sure was a tough one but well worth it! I slacked majorly on my training & felt it. But I sucked it up and made it! What an amazing feeling. I can't wait until I cross that finish line next month. Also, I am below $400 mark on fundraising! YEA

Wow it has been a bit since I have written. But I have been busy. I am $437 away from my goal! Yea I still have 2 weeks left to collect donations so it is on full force. I am sure you guys are probably tired of my emails but too bad! :) I am gonna keep sending them until I reach my goal. hahahhaa. Day after tomorrow will be our longest run & my personal longest run ever 20 miles! I am stocked. It is gonna be really amazing. This time next month I will have completed my 1st marathon. Wow hard to imagine that I am that close to doing something I have been training & fundraising for for so long. This experience has changed me & I am so blessed to be apart of this journey. I will post to let you know how my 20 miles goes! Pray for me!

What a fantastic night. The Be the Difference Benefit raised over $1300. WOW we had such a good time. The servers were amazing & we had every table full. A big Thank You to the Gonelli's; Loutzenhiser's; Lemke's; Father Jerry; St. Paul's Church; St. Paul's Boy Scouts; Jana; Jonny; Ryan; Missy; Tyler; Kyle; Cali & Miranda. They all worked so hard to make this such an amazing event. That puts me $800 away from my goal.

Had a beautiful run this morning. 4 miles on the greenbelt. Lots of ducks & some sunshine. It was so nice. Got lots done for Friday. After tomorrow I should be totally ready! :)

What a fantastic day! Lots accomplished. Everything is coming together perfectly for the benefit dinner. I know it is going to be such a huge success. We have some amazing silent auction items. I can't wait! I did get a 40 minute run in today. It was beautiful out not too cold it was perfect. Sad news, Ryleigh a sweet little girl lost her battle with Leukemia on Monday. This little girl had such an amazing heart. I never had the honor to meet her but she is and will always be in my heart. Her story is amazing. Rest in peace sweet Ryleigh no more pain.
This is why I am doing this.... No more babies (adult & young) need to die. Lets find this cure so the "c" word is no big thing!
