Marathon Milestone

St. George marathon photos. More to come.  I am so proud of my brother, Rick. His first marathon beat mine from last year by at least 30 minutes..Yea for my Aunt Tami we pushed her in a wheelchair the last mile of the St. George marathon.  Then she got out and ran the last .2 it was an awesome and inspiring moment.

Just a short update about our Tami......The past month has been up and down.....it seems mostly down for her but she has been planning to go to St. George to somehow get across the finish line at the marathon.  We wrote letters and got special permission to use a wheelchair at the finish line and those who ran the race would help push her through.....Well.....She had two daughters run the race, also nephews, friends and supporters.  They walked back to the aid station to pick up Tami and help her across.  They just had to wait for out dear Madison and then I went back to find them and to get a couple of pictures.....Well, to my surprise, I couldn't find the wheelchair, but there was Tami.....jogging along slowly with a group of those who loved her. You have to understand that she has had very few days where she wasn't nauseated and to have 3 in a row as of today is just short of a miracle.  Tomorrow Dr. Lambert goes throught the temple and as of tonight she is planning to go.  Tami wanted to get the medal at the marathon that said "finisher".  Because she had qualified for the marathon by finishing her other races and simply to have the realization that she could be there after all the problems she's had since last April.  This is a real milestone for our Tami.....She wondered last year if the Lord would allow her to stay and live and run the race of life.....She ran over the finish line supported by many family and friends who love her and I think that is symbolic of the future for her.....Live and Love and Run!!!!
There are several small stories we'll try to include in the future.....
Love
Judy
