Dear Family and friends,

After much deliberation I have decided to take the journey of training and running the Chicago Marathon 2009.  The experience I had last year was indescribable and the impact it has made unreal.  I struggled with the thought of dedicating so much time towards this again, but then I realized how selfish that would be.  If I can use what God has so generously given me to help raise money and share in the blessings we so often take for granted, I must do it. 

I know we all, on different levels ,struggle with the financial situation we are in today.  If you feel led to give please do and do whatever you can afford.  Every amount helps nothing is too small.  Peoples life's will change in incredible ways because you are suuporting me put on a pair of shoes and run for a few hours, how truly awesome is that!!!  And the changes you will be making will not be forgotten!!! 

Thank you and may God's blessings and grace be upon you!!!
