Suzanne, Boyce's wife, did the bike tour which is the same as the marathon distance. Boyce ran the 5K, Kat, Paul's fiance, ran the half marathon while Jerel and Paul ran the full marathon, 26.2 miles.
You can see the logo on the front of the shirts we all wore in the picture below. On the back of those shirts is a photo of Shannon with words, "In memory of our Shannon Lovebug 1981-2008 and a photo of Lindy with words, "For many more memories with Lindy." Below the pictures it says, "Taking steps to cure Cystic Fibrosis."
There was such an outpouring of support from family and friends on every side and we know our girl was there with us. So I am so exhilarated still from this powerful experience and I am thankful to our children who participated and who came to watch and who supported from a distance. Truly there is joy in this life.

What an awesome experience that must have been! I saw Paul at the gym a few times and know that he worked hard to train, which I'm sure everyone who participated did. I know that Shannon is smiling in Heaven right now... I miss her dearly!
Great to hear about your family event. Isn't it wonderful to have these children of ours that bring us such joy!
Love Susan
