RUNNING FOR "AMAZING FAITH"

This past Saturday we were in Iron River, Wisconsin and Ashland, Wisconsin for the Whistlestop Marathon. Scott's Uncle Tom and Tom's friend, Mike, who both live in Cary, Illinois were running this marathon and they were running it for our little Faith.

We met them at the starting area in Iron River and Faith was able to greet both Uncle Tom and Mike with hugs before the race started. We then followed Aunt Debbie and Mike's wife, Kathy, to the 13 mile mark of the race and cheered on Tom and Mike when they ran by. Then we went to the 20 mile mark and did the same thing. Finally, we headed into Ashland and waited by the finish line. The entire experience was amazing!

Here are photos from the event:

It was an amazing weekend watching two generous men run this marathon in honor of an even more amazing little girl!

Peace and blessings to your day!
