Run For The Love of Andrew ~ Iron Girl

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)

  1. 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

  11. Oooh! 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.
    What a wonderful message of love for you, Andrew and your family! Congrats!
