50 MILES!!!
Yes, you heard this right! Our T.E.A.M. Coordinator is not only making a difference with the T.E.A.M programs, but she is taking a stand and raising money for the foundation. She raised $2500!!! You ask how....RUNNING 50 MILES!!! YES 50!!!
Personally, I have never heard of anyone doing that in my life! It takes a long time to just drive 50 miles! :) Check out a few words from this amazing person who is making a difference in the fight against lung cancer!
Hello!
Well, The Cactus Rose is done.. my legs are dead, but I feel fantastic. I want to say thank you to those of you who donated, prayed, or supported us with your thoughts. Overall the course was WAY HARD! My brother in law talked about the "hills". That is NOT the Texas Hill Country.. THOSE ARE MOUNTAINS! We didn't quite make the time that we were shooting for, but we finished. I was somehow able to finish 5th in girls and overall we finished 21st of 55 finishers.
We started when it was dark... and came to the peak of our first "hill" right at sunrise. The view was incredible. At that moment, I could feel postive energy flowing through me! I felt like a champ after the first 25miles and was ready to take on the rest of the beast. I'm pretty sure Rexanna was pushing me up the hills and cringed as I sang out of tune, "Aint no mountain high enough" to push us through it.
The ending was sweet... 50 miles... we made 50 miles. Who does that? Well it was just a small feat as there were 50 others running the 100mile! We were emotional and teared up as we held up our Rexanna sign. The run was awesome. Doing it for this cause made it possible. There was never a time I even thought about quitting. THANK YOU for helping us get to our goal! We're almost there!
Kristen & her brother-in-law, Troy waiting to start the race!
Half way through...25 miles
Coming up on the finish line! woohoo!
