{running for Jr.}

hello friends and family!
some of you know, i started running a few months back and i really really like it.
geeze, i never EVER thought i'd day that.
ever.
anyway, i'm running a race for a {great} cause.
do you remember my post about a sweet little man named Jr.?
you can refresh yourself here.
Jr. has certainly come a long way since his original diagnosis, and that is no small feat!

when his mama invited me to run in this 5k i didn't hesitate for a second.
this is something {worth} running for.
do you want to run too?  or perhaps walk?
would you consider donating to the 

                           Colorado Pulmonary Hypertension 5K Run for PHun 2011?

Even the smallest donation means a lot to the people affected by this and their families.
and if you cannot donate money, would you consider praying for them?
pray that they would raise a lot of funds, that Jr. would continue to grow healthy and strong.
that his doctors would have wisdom on how best to treat him in the future.

you can donate through my page at

or through Matt and Marie's page.
