Inspiring Moments

This weekend I attended the Jesse Parker Tears into Water 5k run/walk. It was such an inspiring day. So many people that came to support such a wonderful cause . If you want to check out more about how this amazing young man helps bring clean water to those who are so desperately in need, check out this piece done by WKBT: Jesse Parker. Such a wonderful family carrying on the dreams of their son.

For those of you who know me, I DO NOT run. My attitude toward running really changed after this event. There was so much positive energy surrounding everyone. Even the volunteers and organizers were wearing contagious smiles. I left with the comment to my husband, " I can really see how this could be addicting".

Several people, my guess was about 50, also came to show support for my beautiful sister. Team Katie made my heart sing. To watch all the people who really care about her come out in support was heart warming. As pictured below even several of Katie's students braved the run and reminded us all that if you put your mind to something, nothing is out of reach. So Thank you from the bottom of all our hearts. Katie is blessed to have so many coworkers, friends, students, and parents supporting her and making her unexpected journey that much more bearable. We love you Katie! Your corner is full of love, enthusiasm and some amazing people you have touched along the way.
