"Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it. My optimism, then, does not rest on the absence of evil, but on a glad belief in the preponderance of good and willing effort always to cooperate with the good, that it may prevail." -Helen Keller

First Annual Race for Orphans With Down Syndrome!
Join me and my family on September 8th in Meridian Idaho for the first annual RODS Racing Race! I will be doing the 5k, with a goal to finish before the kids fun run (1 mile) gets underway so I can do it with my kids! All proceeds will go to Maggie, the current RODS orphan who desperately needs a family of her own. RODS has already raised over $10,000.00 toward her adoption grant, and has a goal to get her grant to $15,000.00. Speaking from our own experience, once a child's grant gets that high, it is only a matter of a month, maybe two, before a family will commit with such a large portion of their adoption already taken care of. We'd love to see you there! Easy online registration HERE.
