Running a Race for Special Kids



In two short weeks, my husband Bill will once again and for the last time run the Twin Cities Marathon in honor of Aleks. Last year he came up with the idea to run not just in her honor, but to raise money for children and their families with autism. This year he is raising money for AuSM-Autism Society of Minnesota. They provide camps for children with autism, special movie showing for autistic families and educational work shops for parents. Bill runs in two weeks and has set up a website link in case you're interested in donating. Here is the link...

This past year Bill has not only been training for the marathon, but also had his own scare with melanoma. He had to take time off of training after going through surgery on his head and lymph nodes. For me, this year's marathon carries a lot of extra meaning. My daughter is in kindergarten and doing fantastic and my husband is healthy after going through his own cancer scare.

You never know what a year will bring and I am just so grateful for where we are right now, today.
God Bless you and your family and thank you for supporting all of us.
