Last summer I ran four half marathons, two 10K's and a 5k. I ran in those events to show James that no matter how hard the challenge, I would not give up on my plan to complete the work! It was my hope and dream that my running would help him get through his grueling chemotherapy treatments and realize complete restoration of his healthy body and mind.

This summer I'm going to run for James again, but this time each mile run in a race will present an opportunity to raise more funds for his Memorial Trust. Planned events include: the Milwaukee sole-to-sole half marathon, the Madison-Mini Marathon and the Haunted Hustle half-marathon. These three races combined represent 40 miles... If one dollar is contributed for each mile run by 10 people, we'll be able to increase the value of the fund by over $400!! This is a significant amount of funding!

This is the idea anyway; I'm excited to be motivated by my sweet boy to improve the lives of others. Hope you are too!!
