Thank you all for your generosity in giving to my cause. This benefit raised $1,100 towards my race and I am completely in awe. I am 70% of the way there!!! This adventure couldn't be possible without all of you. I thank God for placing this cause on your hearts as he has on mine. I am beyond excited to start this journey and I can't thank you all enough for making this possible for me.

I don't know how my experience will benefit each of you, but my prayer is that by sending me out into the world to do His work that you will in turn be blessed.
