26.2 Miles! We're doing it for Hunter ... otherwise, we'd just be crazy! We're definitely not elite athletes; it's about finishing the race for Hunter. If you've found our blog, chances are, you know that we're trying to raise at least $10,000 to help pay for the HUGE uninsured costs of our nephew's bone marrow transplant. Please take a second to read about Hunter & our journey to prepare for the Chicago Marathon! E-mail us at brookiej73@yahoo.com for info on making a tax-deductible donation.

Fundraising Update! Well, I just got the mail & wanted to update everyone on the total so far. As of right now, we have received 13 responses ... the exciting news is that we've already raised close to $1,000. Just $9,000 to go! :) Thank you so much for your support. It's so exciting to see all the support for Hunter. I have been working on getting some information published in local papers, so hopefully that will help too. I am also contacting some local sports figures in hopes that they will run with us for a day or maybe come to an activity to get the media to an event to get that type of exposure. From what we understand, Ben's employer may match what we raise, so we're definitely looking into that right now. I'll keep you updated on the total as we strive for our $10,000! :) Until next time, Brooke

Brad, Brooke, and Ben,
Can we just say you are amazing. We are so sorry to hear of the pain and injuries....rest assured we will be praying(and I think Hunter has a direct line to God LOL) We are so humbled and thankful for your efforts on Hunter's behalf. The letter you all sent out made us cry. We are so blessed to have family like you all to help carry the burden.
Hunter continues to battle with his platelets, but watching you run will be an inspiration for him(an us LOL). We love seeing your updates and we will continue to pray for you all. We miss you and cannot wait to see you again.
Love,
Heather
