Overwhelming...

No, not the distance (though 13.1 miles is way more than I thought possible five months ago!) and not the fundraising (which I NEVER thought I could be effective with, but here we are in excess of the minimum requirement and nipping at the heels of my goal)....

The SUPPORT, the words of ENCOURAGEMENT, the PRAYERS...its truly overwhelming to me! Wow, THANKS so much to every single one of you for lifting me AND my family up. We are all so fortunate to have had this inundation of kindness and blessings. For the rest of my life, I will relish in this experience, this opportunity to see inside the hearts of people and KNOW ABSOLUTELY that this is a wonderful world. Words cannot express how grateful and truly overwhelmed I am by all of you.

THANKS to KBZK in Beautiful Bozeman Montana for running a story on my race and the need for awareness and funds for IBD. Here is a link to their story: http://www.montanasnewsstation.com/Global/story.asp?S=8691172
I really appreciate that the station listed this blog link on their page, also. This is so key in raising awareness and I'm very, very pleased with the compassion and the coverage!

And keep those prayers coming! I'm going to be so light from being lifted up by all of you that on Sunday, my feet aren't even going to touch the ground!

May God bless you all,
jd

Hey, Jodes! I will pray for your patience and ability to have fun throughout the race and just an amazing time! You have done it and need to relax and take it all in. You are my super hero! Love you very much and remember I will be there in spirit throughout the whole race. I want to hear how many trees you saw, animals, the sky, the people, everything. I love you. You go girl! You have already made us all proud so just enjoy it!!!

Love,
