Great Gavin's Run
Gavin the Great's Run!
Krista Zweers' 4 year old son Gavin was found to have a very large tumor taking
up almost half of the space of his abdomen a little less than 3 days ago. They
had to perform surgery on him right away and are still not sure if it is
cancerous or not. Until we know otherwise we are willing this little 4 year old
boy to NOT have cancer.
As many of you know, Krista is an amazing mother runner who was a huge
cheerleader for our team during the Cascade Lakes Relay. She was the "mother"
in van 2 who always made sure there was someone supporting and cheering on the
runner on the road. She was the caregiver. And now Krista and her beautiful
family need our support. Two out of three of her boys suffer from seizures,
including Gavin. Now she has quite a battle before her. To support Krista, Gavin,
and their family, we are organizing a Cascade Lakes Relay style run to raise
money to go towards any and all expenses they may need to pay for medical bills
and otherwise support them while they take time off from work to be by his
side.
Here is the concept: 6
women, one van, 48 hours and as many miles as we can make. The race is
tentatively planned for the weekend of April 20th. 48 hours is based on the CLR
style race and more importantly these words from Krista "I am so overwhelmed by
all that has happened in 48 hrs. My little love who is my shining light lays
helpless with only our love and support and prayers to fill him with healing."
We are hoping to get
per mile based pledges along with general donations. Anything you can
contribute will make all of the difference and our team will run our behinds off for it!.
