I wanted to update everyone on everything so I figured for those “skimmers” I’d make them into topic sections so you can find what you would like to read!
ME PERSONALLY- As most of you know I had to switch from the January Race Team to the July Race Team due to health issues. I have what is called Graves Disease which is a hyperthyroid. I have been on medication- a thyroid and a heart- for a few months now and feel better then I have in years! Praise God for healing and my amazing Christian doctors at Good Neighbors! My bloodwork will be level before training camp in May and Graves will NOT keep me from doing any part of the race.
FUNDRAISING- We have hit the $4000 mark!!! Only $11,000 more needed by April 1!! If you think of it as part of the 1-5-0 FUNDRAISER we only need 109 families/ individuals/business to give $100 each! That’s it! God is SO good! I also have a fundraiser on December 5 from 1pm-4pm at Love Joy Gospel Church Lancaster, NY. I will have gift baskets, and baked goods from me and the famed “Lisa Kozak” for sale and order! ALL proceeds will go directly towards the trip! Remember your gift is tax deductible and we can give you their federal tax id # if you are a business who’d like to donate and need it or tax time! THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM of MY HEART! Videos are hopefully coming soon- I’m not very technical so figuring how to burn them onto dvds when my disk drive is broken is a little confusing!
MY RACE TEAM- The July 2010 team is amazing already! There are 39 of us, I’d list all of us but that’d take a whole blog! As I’ve gotten to know them over our team blog, facebook & texts we’ve bonded already! In a few weeks I will head to Ohio to see Katie but to also meet my teammate Daniel in person! Once I do I will begin to put out special blogs called, Meet My Team, introducing you to my teammates one at a time.
FAMILY- My family is incredible! They are supportive in every way! If you haven’t seen us in a while the grandkids are Tony, 19, Dylan, 15, Hunter, 10, Madison, 5 and our “baby” Abby is 4. Everyone is doing good and keeping very busy!
PRAYER REQUESTS- 1. Finances 2. Training Camp May 22-30, 2010 3. Health- Family, Friends, Myself
4. Adventures In Missions, World Race staff and my July team 5. All of my supporters
Thank you for reading! Please comment and tell me how you are doing! I’m praying for you and thanking God daily that you are in my life!! Laura Beth
