Our adoption agency has been great to us
through each step we’ve taken in this process. From the time we first met up
with them they’ve treated us wonderfully and gone to any lengths to help us. A
few weeks from now, we’ll get to return a portion of the kindness that they’ve
shown us.
As a non-profit
agency, The Miriam Project relies a great deal on donations and fundraising to
pay for the many services they provide. One of the biggest fundraising events
they do throughout the year though takes off Saturday, September 14th
with the Miriam Project 5k/10k. Runners for the 5 or 10k, as well as 5k
walkers, will gather at the Miriam Project offices at 8am for a day that not
only guarantees to be fun, but also a time to support Miriam’s mission of
uniting children with their forever families. Ashley and I, along with some
friends and family, are looking forward to getting to see all the people from
Miriam who have been so great to us, and to spend the day with so many others
who have been so supportive to this cause.
The reason we’re
writing this tonight is that we wanted to invite all of you to join us. If you
have Sept. 14 free and don’t mind making a trip to Anderson, we’d love to have
as many of you there as possible. All of the information about the event is on
the agency’s website (www.miriamproject.org).
If you’d like to pre-register, you can do that there. Or, if you’d like to
register with us, just let us know and we’ll register our group all at once.
Early registration guarantees that you’ll get a t-shirt (registration on race
day doesn’t), and pre-registration ends on September 5.
We know that
most, if not all, of you won’t be able to join us, and that’s ok. We also understand
that, even if you wanted to go, making a drive to Anderson early on a Saturday
morning isn’t how most people want to spend their weekend. Don’t worry, that’s
ok too. This blog has just been so great for us that we wanted to take the
opportunity to invite all our friends who read it to join us at this event.
