Haiti 5K & Special Olympics

On your mark...get set....go! What a perfect day it was for this morning's Haiti 5K and Fun Run! I saw many of you girls out there running those miles and even winning a medal for first in your age group. Woohoo! Please continue to pray for Haiti. Life was difficult for the Haitian people even before the earthquake it. There are few that have jobs and only 40% of the population can read. More than 25% of the children did not get enough food to eat. Haiti is considered the poorest country in the Americas. From the earthquake, 50,000 people have died and many have lost family, jobs, and homes. For more ways to pray and support Haiti: http://www.gobgr.org/.

Today was also the Special Olympics Basketball tournament, held at Bellevue. 22 teams were playing and lots of fans were cheering. We had a great time making posters, cheering, and watching some great bball together. Here is a pic of Margo (a great ball player) and Elizabeth:
