I just got back from my "easy 8 miler." It wasn't actually that easy. 74 degrees with 80+% humidity made it tough. Anyway, now I am sitting comfortably in the air conditioning.
Things are looking great for tommorrow's Chloe K. run/walk/ride for Autism. The weather looks good, the bands are finally all on a tenative schedual, and I think my beloved wife has us pretty well organizised, I mean organized.
We have also been getting good publicity. The Rensselaer Republican did a nice write up. Also WLQI did an interview for the radio with Doug Marocco, the OAR director for the Run for Autism. I only heard a snipit but it sounded pretty good.
Donations have really started coming in too. As you see we are almost to 20%! That's awesome. Praise the Lord.
Please continue to pray for us that tomorrow would go well and that the weather would cooperate. Above all it is our desire to serve the One who first served us, Jesus Christ, and to bring Glory and Honor to His Name.
Lots of hyperlinks today:) See you all tomorrow at the Doghouse for the big event!
Hi. I am Melissa Ferguson. My husband, Tom, and I attended your Race for your darling daughter Chloe in Rensselaer. He ran, I couldn't.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I wanted to thank you and your wife for your efforts in coordinating this race and getting awareness out in the public eye.
We have a three year old daughter, Zoe, who is autistic as well. This event meant alot for us and we brought along a little crowd to participate. (We were the rowdy ones during the awards....sorry):0
How did you start organizing this because I am seriously interested in trying for something like this in DeMotte in the fall or for next year.....
My husband and I, along with my daughter have just started on this journey of autism a few months ago, so we are somewhat new to the struggles and triumphs of Autism..any advice, suggestions, or encouragement are welcomed. We have a blogspot as well......melissa-fergusonfamilymelissa.blogspot.com
