Well, we did it! The race was a HUGE success. This year's race far surpassed anything we could have ever imagined. We don't have a total of the amount raised yet but I can tell you that 561 runners crossed the finish line and 100 children participated in the Kids Fun Run! Can you believe it?!
I have to brag for a moment and tell you that Ella ran the 5k and finished 1st in her age division. She ran it in 34 min. I am beyond proud of her. If that wasn't enough, she decided to run an additional 3/4 mile with the other children. She is so awesome.
I will have some nice pictures of the race to post later, but I wanted to share a few from my iPhone. Thank you all for your prayers and support. I am so excited about continuing the work of the Go Lucy Go Foundation and I am anxious to see what God has planned for and through us!
Way to go Ella! And way to go to all the runners! You are awesome.
ReplyDeleteWhoo hoo!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a great race.
ReplyDeleteOK I have to ask a question and hope it is not too stupid......I am from Australia and thought the US were on a non-metric system of miles. Why is the race 5 kilometres (or kilometers) long rather than 3.1 miles? Hope you can answer.
We had a great time! It's was great to finally meet your family and see Lucy. Such a sweet gal you guys have.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter did the race this year. This is the first race she had ran and had a great time.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad it went well! That's great news!
