Yesterday, April 10, I ran the Aflac Iron Girl 5k on Clearwater Beach at Pier 60. Audra ran the 15k. I spread "Andrew's Message." (more of the story and more pics later)
Andrew's Message
Me with the sign
Pausing for a picture
Audra and me
Audra runs for the "love of Andrew" and in support of Britt Ballard (pic in sidebar).
My man and me
So encourageing and uplifting! ....Andrew indeed is a special young man.....in Heaven as he was on earth......my prayers are always with you and yours.....Sadly I know all to well the feelings that go along with sending a child to Heaven.....But always TRY to remember that our Loving Lord never makes mistakes and took our Kevin home for a reason......Again....always in my prayers
ReplyDeleteYou go girls! What a wonderful way to spread the "Good News"! I really admire you getting out there to do that. You and Audra look like a real dynamic duo!

ReplyDeleteOooh! I give you so much credit. I tried a 5K once and made it, however, I was so dehydrated and tired that my heart rate raced! A few gatorades later, I was fine.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful message of love for you, Andrew and your family! Congrats!
What a beautiful sentiment in memory of your wonderful son :) I hope it brought a great deal of warmth to your family's heart ... it sure did to mine!
ReplyDeleteTks so much for visiting my Blog and how wonderful that your neighbors made Andrew a quilt! I'd love to see it someday :)
Hugs to you my dear!
