This year our team doubled in participants and raised over 1000,00 for Team-All For Ellie! We won 'Most Participants Award'! I am so proud of our accomplishment!
I am so thankful for all of our family and friends that love and support us all year round...but especially during these times! We had a few newcomers to the group this year. The Canfield's (party of 5) that Jeff and I met during our child birth class with Ellie! John and Dodie are and will always be so special to us! Their son, Nolan, is 5 and was born shortly after Ellie was in 2005. My sorority sisters, Trisha, Kara and Stephanie, joined our team this year! They are super good runners! It really touched me that they chose to particpate. Chi-O Love and All Mine! Our neighbor, Kelli, walked this year with us! I went to high school with her husband, Adam. She just had a baby and shocked the heck out of me with how well she walked. You rock girl! My cousins, Molly and Brandon, made the trip from Chicago this year to be with us. So special and we LOVE spending time with them! Love you both so much! My Aunt Di from Jasper was also new to the group this year! I love you with all my heart Aunt Di! Dale, Dana and Raelynn(our great friends) participated for the first time this year. They are always there with us and for us no matter what we have going on or up our sleeves! We love you guys!
And to all the returning friends and family members, you are our heroes! Thank you so much for all of your love and support! Ellie shines down on us all the time, but on this day, the sun was shining brighter than ever! We love you all so much and want you to know that you mean so much to us!
