The whole family (Parker, too) pitched in to create this momentum and now you're seeing your hard work pay off! Kudos and congratulations. James would be impressed. <br />I hope you are feeling a spot better and you enjoy a peaceful Christmas. Then, when 2011 dawns you'll have an even stronger resolve to pick the momentum back up and smash your current records!<br />So pleased for all of you and so proud to be a very small part of your support team!Chief 187https://www.blogger.com/profile/09485730643132355212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8024190070859397220.post-54138535340082142302010-12-13T19:20:08.902-08:002010-12-13T19:20:08.902-08:00Cheryl, all good points.

I realized that I was going to be the "face" of this project, just wish it were better looking. <br /><br />Maybe I will segue from "Riding with my son" to "Writing with my son?" Eh, more things to think about.J.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13723460232714270509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8024190070859397220.post-89763311861286749342010-12-13T19:11:42.768-08:002010-12-13T19:11:42.768-08:00Your options are limitless.

Would love to hear what's in the works and how you all are amping up for next year.<br /><br />Just a side note. I know you've been uncomfortable with the focus being on you rather than the WWP. Folks who don't have family or friends serving NEED a face, a human to connect to in order to get invested in this thing you're trying to promote.<br /><br />When I was maniacally posting about Cure JM, the one thing that gave the whole thing OOOMPH was the kids. Kevin was the face we'd all come to know. When he got permission and started posting photos of the kids, things flew and the movement kept growing.<br /><br />Your face matters. Your son's face matters. Your story matters. It's how we connect. If I hadn't been part of the Pease Greeters, your faces would be the only ones I'd have. Just something else to ponder.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843459906469325667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8024190070859397220.post-68766257523138414482010-12-13T19:06:23.974-08:002010-12-13T19:06:23.974-08:00Wow! $1,650!!

I wish I could have made it to a race - I ended up with nasty viral infection during your last race – but glad you held it up to the end. I love your blog posts - they are very entertaining. Hate to see it end but you did a good thing in the memory of your son and for all Wounded Warriors. Kudos!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14477112098931429156noreply@blogger.com
