Run for Rory - Pledge Per Mile: From Leadville,Co. here i am to acclimate for the week into the race on saturday and sunday. i can hardly believe its almost here! As of now, i have $47.80 per mile in pledges!! Who wants to make it 50? Rory is still working hard to heal and walk again, and her parents are busy changing dressings and diapers all day every day. I painted my toenails Royal blue, Rory' s favorite color...it is now RoryBlue, thankyouverymuch. My run today was glorious, birdscalling, sun-dappled path, black sqirrels, chipmunks, beautiful little snake that reminds me if Rory's friend Eel. I am eager and ready to do this Run for Rory. I am so proud to be her Auntie. Would you like me to fly a ribbon for a loved one? I will write their name on a gold ribbon and fly it with Rory' s and others, probably on my hat! Ok, gotta run, 'scusin thepun. :)

Well Folks, I gave it my all at the Leadville 100-Mile "Race Across the Sky" this year ~ I made it 60 miles!
I was late for the cutoff time, so did not go on.

My team was beyond incredible - and the support from all of you has been overwhelming.

My goal and belief had been to be stronger and able to gather more miles for your pledges ~ I also was humbled and learned a great deal about perseverence. This leaves me even more in awe of little Rory's strengths.

Thank You with all my heart for your pledge per mile. Please click on the link to the right to donate your pledge x 60.
Or if you prefer other arrangements, please send me an email at: spiritrunning@gmail.com

Rory is my beautiful 2-year-old niece and god-daughter who was diagnosed with a rare form of late-stage, high-risk cancer on February 24th this year. She is a little fighter with a mighty spirit, brave through countless procedures, chemo treatments, therapies, and surgeries.

Rory is now walking with the help of her parents, a foot brace, and PT every day. I am so proud of her!

I commit! I won't quit! I am going to continue to work hard, hard and get as strong as i can to keep up with her. Way to set the bar up there, Rory!!
