I love you.<br/><br/>Becky - Thank you very much for the support and encouragement. I have met your parents at the Elks, and Kyle remembers you. I know that on marathon day, when I'm ready to keel over at mile 25, I just have to think of you and all the other family and friends who have so generously supported me in this effort and my spirits will be lifted. It is a gift to be able to witness the true giving nature of the human spirit. I thank you.<br/><br/>Jenn - Thanks...let's have a long distance toast to the next 200! And my favorite part of blogging is Thankful Thursday posting, it keeps me grounded and puts all the everyday craziness and whining into perspective.<br/><br/>Amanda - That is so great! You should be very proud of all your little ones. One of the most important lessons in life is learning how to give...learning how to put yourself into someone else's shoes...learning that we are all in this together. You are teaching them how to enact change, what a powerful way to make a difference. Please keep me posted on their efforts and tell them just how amazing I think each and every one of them are.

I took in some information on your MIL and you (and your dad) running to motivate my class. My homeroom is in first place right now (after only a week) with almost $150. Pretty impressive for kids in a school that is almost 80% free and reduced lunch!!! Way to motivate kids two thousand miles away! We have until the 23rd but I'll keep you posted on our total. Meanwhile, keep up the great work! Our school is doing the “Pennies for Patients” drive right now for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

My aunt, Penney Kelley is one of her longest friends, and my parents Tom and Margy Rutger have known them for years, mostly from the Elks. I have followed Cindy's story since my mom told me about it, and I think it is so great that you have made this commitment for her and all those suffering from this awful disease. You should be very proud of yourself, running a marathon is not for the faint of heart, and after reading your blog, you seem to have enough heart to see this through till the end.<br/>Good Luck<br/>Becky Rutger Costa Hi Erika,
