With the Step-a-thon in 29 hours, the nerves are building.  I can't wait to accomplish the personal goal with the participation and encouragment of many friends and family members.  As well, we have surpassed $3000 in fundraising!!  This is a huge blessing, and I am very grateful to all those who have donated thus far.  Many people have expressed an interest in coming to the Step-a-thon on Saturday and there is to be quite a crowd, which is a huge encouragment.  I am overwhelmed with gratitude and humility at all the efforts people are putting forward.
