So, in January, I couldn't even run for a minute - no joke. Amazingly, last weekend, I ran 8 miles!

I joined LifeRunners because I believe in the cause - raising awareness, prayer, and money for local pregnancy resource centers. This year, I am supporting Good Shepherd.

Good Shepherd is part of Cathoic Charities and helps families in all stages of need: from housing for foster children to helping mothers in a crisis pregnancy, to reuniting families and counseling. They rock!

I joined this cause for the people I would help, but really it is I who have been helped - profited from the discipline, the exercise, the improved health, the comaraderie, and the prayer.

I would really appreciate if you help me to reach my fundraising goal of $500. I also appreciate your support, good will, and prayers for my running and for Good Shepherd!
