------------------------------------
LIFE Runners, only 4 wks to go! Over these final weeks we will raise lots of miles, prayers and funds...to help protect the Unborn (and parents). As of 13 Aug, the Alpha Center (crisis pregnancy bus) has received 31 donations ($2,694) for LIFE Runners...let's work hard this week to cross the finish line for our team goal (below)!

IN THE NEWS (14 Aug): Sioux Falls KSFY TV did a special on the Peters family (inspirational story), including a high five for the LIFE Runners support of the Alpha Center! The following article includes a link for the 2 min TV clip, as well as Alpha Center and LIFE Runners info links. SF dad running September marathon for his son and family.
.
SPONSORS GOAL (by Sunday, 22 Aug): Each teammate donates to the Alpha Center and raises at least $200 (or 5 sponsors). Please send me your sponsors and let me know when you make your donation...so I can add all to the Sponsors List for prayers of thanksgiving. Our faithful fundraising sacrifices are a real prayer with great life saving impact!
* Daughters Paige (10) and Grace (7) insisted on donating from their very limited $ stash (from picking weeds and bagworms): Paige ($5) and Grace ($1.10).
.
ACTIVITIES (11 Sep): Planning for everyone to attend the Alpha Center tour (9 AM), St. Theresa Mass (4 PM, invite family/friends) and Prerace Meal (5:30 PM). See old blogsite posts for details.

Runners run, and Christians pray...LIFE Runners do both! Let's unite our prayers for each other, sponsors, and the Unborn (and parents)! Let's stay focused with our prayerful running and sacrificial fundraising...

Running for ProLife,
Coach Pat
