The BIG day!!!
So much to write about since my last blog.
Going in chronological order...
My last fundraiser was a paint night at Muise Paintbar. So much fun! And look at the fantastic works of art we created.
Painting, drinks, music, and friends. What more could you ask for in a night out?

Then there was the great flood of 2018, also known as the Boston Marathon. It didn't just rain, it poured, and the wind, ugh! Every time I thought it couldn't get any worse, it did. So much rain! But I did it! And here are some pictures to prove it.
It was memorable, to say the least. I want to thank all of the folks that braved the rain to cheer me on. John and the boys, my parents.
This beautiful family
The amazing volunteers at the mile 4 water stop. Mary for being at the waterstop with a hug for me. Jannine, Amy and Amy, Emily and Kevin, the drunk guys giving out beer at heartbreak hill, the drunk girls dressed like hot dogs, and coach who ran along my side for a bit, encouraging me to choke down a little extra fuel. Thank you to all of the people that followed me on line, from Danvers, Boston, Mexico, Connecticut, Florida, and maybe even other places I am not thinking of. It was a truly amazing experience that I don't feel like I can adequately put into words.
Thank you to everyone who donated, participated in fundraisers, cheered me on, and prayed for me. I felt that support carrying me through every step of my journey. I have never felt so loved and so grateful. We raised $7444 for the American Liver Foundation, a truly wonderful cause. I could not be happier.
As I finish up this very last blog post, I would like to thank my American Liver Foundation team who has become like family to me. We carried each other through this season and this day. I always thought of myself as a solitary runner until I met this group. I can't even tell you what a game changer it was having all of these folks with me on the Saturday runs. They are a truly amazing group of individuals and I am so lucky that I had the opportunity to get to know them.
Until the next adventure, thank you and I love you all!
