Thank you

Thank you so much for all the funds raised for MPS research. We have raised just over $3,000 so far! Yesterday I ran 26.2 miles for Rylie's Runners for Research, so if you were waiting to see if I actually made it before donating, you can go ahead and do so now! :) (See the previous post for details.)

A HUGE thank you to my incredibly supportive husband for encouraging me through my training, helping me recover from my training, cheering for me along the course, and for helping me stay off my feet after the marathon. Also a HUGE thank you to friends and family who came down to cheer along the course: Geneva, Chris, Cory, Kyle, Julie, Kristen, Kent, and my littlest and cutest supporters Rylie, Kendall, Sofia, and Emerson. I can't thank you enough. Another HUGE thank you for Kjirsten and Lyle for providing some rockin' tunes for the journey. 

And the BIGGEST thanks to all who gave to this worthy cause!

A cute story. When I finished the run, I tried to give Rylie a hug, and she stepped back and said, "No, Mom, you're too sweaty." And I don't think Lyle put her up to that!

Jade you are so amazing! Love you guys bunches! haha and Rylie's comment to you was awesome and I am sure she figured it out all on her own. She is one smart cookie!

YAYYYYY!! Awesome job, Jade!! And all the supporters. :)
And, great work staying hydrated, too, if you were sweaty at the end. What an amazing fundraising success as well. LOVE it!

Proverbs 3:5–8

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones."
