For a moment when you are at the starting line
stop everything
listen to your heartbeat
listen really closely to it
in those beats you will also hear the voices
of everyone who loves you
and know one thing for sure
in their voices you will find the strength
Now is a good time to step back a minute
let it all sink in
you are about to become a member in a select group of people
not just those who ran a marathon
but those who had the heart and drive
to achieve what at one time they thought could not be achieved
that is your strength
that is your confidence
that is YOU!

Congratulations to Cameron for finishing the Chicago marathon! I am so proud of you! 26 MILES!!! Cameron finished in a record setting year - record setting heat...I think it reached 91 degrees! Out of 35,000 runners, 10,000 dropped out, 312 were hospitilized and 1 unfortunately lost his life. Please keep these families in your prayers. Somehow through all that, Cameron managed to cross the finish line and get his medal! Cameron chose to run for the American Brain Tumor Association. Please click here to link to his webpage. Thank you to everyone who donated! Thank you to everyone who came out to support Cameron during the marathon, I know the cheers kept him moving!
