Can you spare a…
Hello loyal blog fans. Apologies for our absence, it has been a trying few weeks on the health/wellness front for Holden, but I’ll leave that for another posting.
For this one, I wanted to ask a small favor. I signed on to run the Beat the Bridge 8K in May, and as the race has as its core purpose the raising of money to fight juvenile diabetes, I’m coming to you hat in hand to see if you might chip in a few bucks toward the cause. If you’re feeling charitable, please make a donation here.
I’ll be sure to post pics after the race - for background on the name, there’s a bridge at the 2 mile mark of the race, and it gets raised 20 minutes after the starting flag goes up. Go slower than a 10 minute mile pace, and you get to sit and wait for a few minutes while it goes up and down (and people laugh and taunt you - that’s probably not true, it’s just how I imagine it would go down).
Thanks for the support!
Leave it to the parents to get you over the top - thanks Mom & Dad
Still would love to raise more for this worthy cause, so if anyone else is feeling generous, I’d appreciate the support (I’ll run faster, I promise!)
Don’t mention it! We’re always up for supporting both a good cause and you!
