The two ladies pictured above are Donna and Jodi, both are runners in our training program. Donna is currently battling breast cancer. Jodi has won her battle to beat breast cancer! In fact Jodi ran the half-marathon today. There is hope in the fight against this disease. They selected the "Donna Hicken Foundation" to be the recipient of the money raised from the "Left Behind" half marathon. Approximately 100 runners showed up for the fun run. There were medals for each finisher and a delicious pot luck breakfast of goodies. I even saw some chocolate donuts. We will have a tally of the money raised in the next few days. Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed.

What a GREAT day this was. I was so humbled by all the generosity and kindness that my fellow runners showed. We are so lucky to be a part of MarathonFest. Jodi is a TRUE fighter AND a WINNER! She met the beast head on and BEAT IT!! She is my inspiration. I cannot wait until I can be back out there again, running the race.
Now will someone please get that chick on the left some makeup? : )
ps...the chick on the left is me. : )
pss...love you Jim
Donna, you and Jodi are champions! It was nice that Wendy was able to run before she moves to Utah. We are all looking for that finish line of victory. You are getting very close. I know with your "spirit" and "fight", you will be running long before next May. No makeup necessary, you're gorgeous!
What a cool event!! Will there be one during the summer? I only have one race in July, nothing in June or August and would love to do an event like this to stay motivated and help a great cause!
And I agree with Jim, you're beautiful just the way you are, Donna :-)
Shirley - This is a once a year event.
Just looked at the pictures and read the posts....looks like you guys and gals had a great time.....and all for a good cause.
