Hypothermi-a-thon

Thank you to all of you who made donations to Child S.H.A.R.E. as Erik ran the LA Marathon on Sunday. 26.2 miles of goodness! We are so proud of him because not only did he run 26.2 miles, he did it in the most ridiculous weather Southern California could have come up with for the first day of spring. Here and here are some quick articles to sum it up. This picture sums up what the kids thought of it. The babies definitely had the best seats.Still wish I had a picture of the foot long string of snot hanging out of Daniel's nose that a kind grandmotherly stranger walked up and cleaned for me but I was too worried for my precious camera's safety since buckets of water were falling from the sky. Maggie is quite proud of Daddy's medal and is quick to tell you that he ran for her! I didn't get a good pre-race picture because he left the room at 4:20 am but this is what the ride home looked like!

So...anyone game for next year?

Running for Maggie

This is our daughter Maggie. Child S.H.A.R.E., an organization founded in 1985 to challenge and equip local congregations to recruit and support foster and adoptive families, helped us adopt her into our home. In gratitude for their wonderful help, Erik is running the LA Marathon on March 20th.

There are currently more than 20,000 children in foster care who need families in LA County ALONE.

Support children in foster care by sponsoring Erik in his LA Marathon run. Donating through this site is simple, fast, and totally secure. To go to the secure donations page, click here. Please remember that no donation is too small and every dollar helps to bring a child closer to finding a home.
