WE RUN BECAUSE WE CAN. We know how blessed we are and hope to give others around us strength and inspiration. We both have such wonderful families and friends who fill our lives and inspire us with their courage and faith. Thanks to everyone who has helped us raise money for our charity! We have raised $1000 for the Dixie Care and Share so far and would love to raise more!! The support we have received from our family, friends, and even perfect strangers has been overwhelming.
