There is a woman in our neighborhood who has terminal cancer. She is only 30 years old and has five kids. She has been through so much this last year and has never once complained. She is a wonderful example to me and to many others. I can't even fathom how she keeps her faith through it all. And though she doesn't know it. I truly love and admire her for being so strong and keeping her faith through everything.
Saturday they had a fund raiser to raise money for their family. I ran in the 5k. It was my first. I am not much of a runner. All though I would like to be. It turned out to be a perfect day. The weather could not have been better. And their was an unbelievable turn out. Which goes to show just how wonderful a person Amber is. Her story is truly amazing. It will break your heart but you will be inspired. Her blog is http://amberchase.weebly.com/our-blog.html. If you have a chance you should really go and read her story from the beginning. Thanks Amber for your wonderful example!!!!!!
Me and the pinkest girl there!

Wow, what a great and noble cause. I hope everything turns out for Amber.
Good for you Callee! What a great thing for Amber to see everyone pulling for her!
I know so many people that know Amber and while I don't know her personally-she really is someone that I and everyone can admire and look up to. Good for you for running!(And I LOVE those shoes!) Yes, I am finally feeling better! I'm so glad it won't ruin the holidays....or the shopping!:)
