Hey there! So sorry it's taken me a while to send my race wrap-up!

Anyway, I want to thank all of you who joined the team and/or
contributed. We missed those of you who weren't able to be there for
the race! It was a warm, muggy morning, but we still had lots of fun,
as we always do! Owen, our 6 year old, ran the race (five kilometers)
in 37 minutes!!!! Can you believe it?! Next year, our whole family
will run it!

Also, I have seen so many of our shirts around! Lot's of people have
commented on how great they look. I understand, too, that the kids are
having lots of fun finding their names on the back! I'm so glad they
seem to be well-liked.

Now...we are kicking around a name change for next year. Also, I'm
really looking for help on t-shirt designs for next year, so keep that
in mind!!! And I would like to challenge each team member (kids, too)
to find one person to join our team with you! We had 144 team members
this year, which is still unbelievable to me! You guys are so
wonderfully supportive! I know you all have your own causes, but you
sure are supportive of mine, nonetheless. We raised $6,525 (ish)! That
is also just unbelievable. I set our goal lower this year, but you
guys blew that $5,000 goal out of the water.

You'll be hearing from me about next year's race right after Christmas
(if I'm on my game!).....If you have t-shirt ideas (colors/designs),
please let me know! Thanks again, so much! Just can't say it enough!!!

With love and deep appreciation--

Renee
