Ellie's Race!!!

We are so excited! The Utah Hero Foundation chose Ellie to do a race and a silent auction to benefit our family! The race will be held on September 18, 2010. It will be held in Farmington, Utah. For any of you who want to come and run, walk, stroll or roll in our 5k, we would LOVE to see you. There also will be a silent auction and booths after the race to also participate in. We feel so blessed to know and love so many of you. I can say that along with our Hevenly Father, so many of you have carried us through these past few years. We truly could not have done it without you. When people ask us how we are dealing with everything, my first thought is we have not done it alone. It is hard to express the love and the gratitude that we have felt through out this journey. This has taught me many valuable life lessons that will carry us through this life and the next. We have met so many new friends and been reconnected with old ones because of our hardships. It is amazing and at times overwhelming to know that you are cared for and prayed for by so many.

So feel free to grab a button and copy it to your blog. Also a few have expressed how they can help with the race or auction. You may contact the people from the Hero Foundation if your interested in donating an item or basket. My daughter said it best, "I hate that Ellie is a Hopekid because she is sick but at the same time, I love that she is a Hopekid because it has made our family special!"
