Susie and I picked up the "BIG CHECK" from Walmart today. Thanks to the efforts of Kim Allison and fellow "Team Walmart" walkers and bikers during this years Chloë K 5K Run Rock and Ride, OAR received this grant for $1000.
The Organization for Autism Research (OAR) will put these funds to use immediately by providing resources to help families dealing with autism. OAR also funds research to multiple autism studies. Additionally, OAR writes publications targeting specific autism needs, the latest of which focuses on military families. Publications from OAR are available as well as more information on autism from their website. Click here to be redirected.

Zach and I are running the new Chicago Rock and Roll Half Marathon this Sunday for OAR. It's another chance to get the word out. Zach has been training some on his own and with the high school cross country team. After a 13.1 mile race, he should tear up the cross country course.
As for me, I would of course like to PR. Unfortunately though, I got a little overzealous in my marathon training and have done some damage to my legs. At this point, I just want to loosen up quickly and run a good race.
Thanks for your prayers and support.
