Opened Heart 5K and Family Fun Walk

We want to start out by saying Thank You to everyone that supported us in this adventure! We appreciate Riverwood Resort (http://www.riverwoodresortmo.com/) for hosting the 5K, our parents for volunteering to work the 5K with us, all our friends and family that came out to support us, new friends we made from the race and those that were not able to come but sent us donations, bought t-shirts and prayed for us. Your outpouring of love has not gone un-noticed!

Our total donation amount (drum roll please) was right at $1,620 and we still have people sending in donations for t-shirts! That means after paying for t-shirts and supplies we raised over $1100 for our adoption, how awesome is that!!!

We had 15 people run the race and three people speed walk it.
Our winners were....

   1st Place Male: Bryson Crowell (age 10!) with a time of 23 :55
            2nd Place Male: Nick Grunwaldt with a time of 24:06

 

    1st Place Female: Kim Fowler with a time of 34:19
