Praise be to God!

Yesterday Sandi, my sister-in-law, had another round of tests done to see how her cancer treatment is holding up. She got news that everything looks great! That comes after many, many prayers, and many, many chemo and radiation treatments. I do not know God's plan, but I do know that Sandi is a strong woman and she has a very powerful story to tell. You can read about her story here, and a little bit here and here.
I want to invite all of you locals to participate in the 2nd annual Champions of Hope Race in Dothan, AL on October 10th, 2009. I will be there, and I hope many of you will be there too. Last year Sandi was the chairperson of this race, and they had a great turnout. The proceeds will benefit women in the area who either cannot afford cancer treatment or do not have enough insurance to cover the VERY expensive treatments that most breast cancer patients must go through. Here is a picture of the survivors from last years' race:

Sandi is on the bottom right of the picture. Please keep her in your prayers, as we want to continue to get news like this! We love you so much Sandi!

Hey Meredith, I love this picture! Would you mind if I "steal" it and send it to my sister? She's doing the Atlanta 2-Day Walk in October and we're knee deep in fundraising. It would be awesome if her and team could re-create Sandi's picture on walk day. Let me know... Thanks, Jennifer

I think, if we're not having a band competition on October 10th, that the Cougarettes should walk!

Jennifer,
I actually "borrowed" that picture from the foundation website, but I don't think it would be a big deal!
And Aubs, I agree, if we are not competing the Cougarettes should go!
