Man, we are WAY overdue on a blog update so for those of you still sticking with us... thanks!!
In the craziness that has been the start of summer, I neglected to post about the Raleigh ALS walk that happened way back in April! Whoops! While I have some other things on my mind right this moment, I would be remiss if I didn't record what an amazing day that was.
As best we could tell, we had close to 50 wonderful friends come out to walk with us, love us, and support us. We raised over $10,000 for ALS!!! $10,000!!! That just blows my mind.
Mom was overwhelmed by all of the love and support that was rained down on her all day.
I mean, just look at all of the love and joy in these pictures!! Who knew something as awful as ALS could still generate so much joy?
This is grace. This is comfort. This is hope.
I am grateful every day for the people in these pictures and the people who were walking with us in spirit.
ALS could have very easily ruined us by now. It is currently trying it's best to rob us of this joy and hope but, thanks to the support of amazing friends and family and a mom with a VERY healthy sense of humor, we are standing strong and saying, "Not today, ALS-hole... not today!!"
ALS-hole... now that's funny!
