I Crossed the Finish Line!!



Well I did the March of Dimes walk on Saturday. It wasn't a pretty day, but at least it didn't rain. This was my first walk in such a hill infested environment and I am paying for it still. I can only waddle around. Boy am I out of shape. But it was still so much fun. We walked around seven miles and raised so much money for families with premature babies.
I want to thank everyone who sponsored me on this walk it meant so much to me to have support. I raised enough money to buy a crib for one family. I was really touched by how much everyone cared about this cause. Thank you so much for all of your support.
As for an update on Crystal Conner, the woman I was walking in honor of, she is off bed rest! And is waiting for the baby to come. It is such a miracle that she has made it this far and the baby is healthy. I told her that so many people are praying for her and she said that she knows that God has answered her prayers about this baby and nothing she has done has kept this baby healthy. Praise God for the little miracle she is carrying.
Thank you again for the care and support you sent my way!

Congratulations for completing the race! Expressing the money raised in relation to the cribe is so visual and meaningful. Look what one person can do!
As for the waddling, I recommend hot baths with little kitties eyes watching!
Love, Mom
