1 Day Left!

"No matter how my story ends, I know that I left the world a better place than I found it.  One person might be saved because I walked, because I lived, because I raised that money, and that is the greatest achievement that any of us can hope for from our lifetimes."  Bridget Spence

My 3rd 3-Day Journey starts tomorrow after school as I attend the Opening/Closing Ceremony Rehearsal.  Then up early Friday morning to begin the walk.  I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to walk the last 3 years.  I never dreamed that walking in 2011 would lead me here, 180 miles later and over $7000 raised.  From walking alone to walking with a team of 10 (7 walkers and 3 crew).  I couldn't be more proud of my team, Angels of Hope.  I love you ladies and I can't wait to celebrate, remember, and spread awareness with you this weekend.  I am so ready to laugh and cry with you.  My prayer is that we have made a difference, that lives will be saved, and people have been made aware.

I couldn't do this without some very special people!  Yes, I couldn't walk without those who have donated, prayed, encouraged, and supported me for 3 years.  Thank you for helping me honor my mother and I too am honored to walk for you and your loved ones!  Also, my family, Scott Rains, Wesley, and Graham.  Thank you for letting me participate and sharing this experience with me.  Thank you to my inspiration and my biggest fans, Mom and Dad (Jeffrey Sauls and Debbie Sauls), I love you more than words can say!  Thank you to Ryan Roth and Travis Williams, 60 miles would not be physically possible without your training and encouragement!

Please remember the walkers and crew in your prayers this weekend.  I am beyond blessed to have amazing friends and family like you!!
