I want to thank everyone who has given so far in honor of Jonathan to the Bell Center (www.firstgiving.com/jonathanhallwarren). We are so grateful to those of you who have taken the time to support us. Please pray for good health and mild weather on Sunday. It has been mild here the last few days and is supposed to be on Sunday. We are looking forward to it!
Jonathan ran in his last Bell Center race at Samford yesterday. Jackson ran in the race for siblings as well. We were there along with the Cook families (Suzanne, Jason, Sarah, Gracie, and friends of theirs), Jim, and Julie and Philip Cundiff. We brought Buzz and Woody to use as bait, to lure Jonathan down the straightaway. We played out on the football field first where Jackson mistakenly took Gracie down in a headlock. He was chastised as her mother emptied her pants of rubber turf.:) We then took our seat in the stands to watch all the kids race. Jonathan and Jackson got to run toward the end.
There were several heats of races. Some kids were pushed in strollers while some walked on their own in their walkers. Others walked while holding hands. In the last few heats the kids were able to walk/run unassisted. It was so neat and touching to watch - I had difficulty not crying. When you give to us, you give to them. These kids often can't talk or walk or see. Just crossing that finish line is huge to them. They all received medals and had a blast.
Jackson ran at the end. According to him, he won. I honestly could not tell. So, congratulate him if you see him.:)
Below is a slide show of yesterday's events. Enjoy!
