87 Miles to Peru!

The "Athens 2 Atlanta" road skate in Georgia is the oldest (and I think longest) inline skating race in the U.S.  The 87 mile, hilly course will be more then double my current longest skate of 40 miles (Madison to Devil's Lake).  The parallels between a 2-3 year adoption journey and an 87 mile inline race are mind-boggling.  Both require an immense amount of time and energy, pain and sacrifice.  As we power through the race (and several long hills) we will imagine our child at the finish line, and realize just how much the end result outweighs all the struggles.

As we prepare for this race in October, Doug and I need your help!  Please consider sponsoring us through what will surely be a labor of love!  You can use the fundraising link on the right side of your screen, or contact us directly.  The race coordinator is amazing and is working with us to lower the entrance costs so that we can maximize our fundraising effort.  The goal is to have 87 sponsors, one for each mile!  All funds will be going to help offset a portion of the $25,000-$30,000 total cost of the adoption.

Please help us reach the ultimate goal of bringing our child home from Peru!  Doug is up for the challenge.  Are you?
