untanglingknots.com: Thank You

Monday, September 12, 2005

Thank you to everyone who so generously supported me as I prepared for my first official 10km run on September 24th to raise money for the PBSO in Ava’s honour.

Your support and generosity is truly touching. Thanks hardly seems like enough, but I have been rendered speechless after totaling the amount of money raised for this important charity.

Together, with your support, we have managed to raise almost $1100!

Thank you. Truly, from the bottom of my heart.

Your kindness, emails and letters of encouragement and support have been such a huge motivation in helping me reach my goal, and with another 10km under my belt from a practice run last weekend, I know I will complete this run standing proud and tall.

On behalf of Ava, because I know she would be tickled pink to know how many care, thank you again for everything.

We're truly a blessed family to know the love and support of so many.

I think about you every time I drag my ass out my front door to run, and your dedication to it. Ava is your motivation, and you both are mine :-) I'm so glad you're refusing to let your loss be the end of the story. I'm glad you guys are so committed to helping other parents and babies!! See really, my hat goes off to YOU!

Hooray to you for doing another 10K. I am so proud of you and I don't know if that means anything coming from ME but I am truly proud of what you are doing. You are one strong couple. I wish I had YOUR STRENGTH. YOu two are awesome.

Ava is looking down on you two and is smiling and very proud of her parents. She was blessed to have been born to two parents who loved her more then words.

Keep up your great work and I just know that she is so proud of you two. HUGS AND BEST OF LUCK ON YOUR RUN. I know you two will do great. I will be thinking of you.

I admire you Karla, and I don't dole out admiration lightly.

Congratulations, 10K is a great accomplishment, as is the cause.

You are very kind. You are also an inspiration. It would be so easy to just be depressed and sit and do nothing, feel sorry for yourself, and pretend it didn't happen. Many people do this when they have a great. Instead you honor Ava with your life. i'm sure she's proud.

I'm so glad your injury has subsided and you can run in this race. And I echo everyone else...no thanks needed here. You are the one who is doing the hard work! I thank you for allowing me to do something to honor Ava. I am sure she is so proud of her Mommy.
