Please read here about George’s 3rd day in the Australian Outback. I can’t stress enough how amazing his efforts are. As of now, he’s racing with a probable broken wrist and broken iPod…down 4 toenails and has countless blisters. He LOVES and READS all of his comments…please take a minute to cheer him on!

Talk About Inspiration!!

I’d like you to meet George.

He is running an AMAZING race for Luci and the MAGIC Foundation. This is Luci.

Their story is completely amazing. And George’s journey is nothing short of inspirational. On April 25th, he will set out on a 150+ race throughout the Kimberly region of the Australian Outback. George’s goal is to race an ultra-marathon on every single continent in order to spread the word and information about growth disorders. What’s even more amazing is that Luci isn’t even George’s daughter!! Luci is the daughter of a co-worker of George. I really encourage you to read George’s story here and click on ‘George’.

You can read all about Luci and her situation here and click on ‘Luci’. Her story sounds a lot like Emma’s except Luci was diagnosed shortly after birth.

Keep up with George’s blog during the race here and click on ‘Australia blog’.

I LOVE these stories!! We don’t get to hear enough of them…don’t you agree?

A Nice Shout Out!

Knowledge Safari is a social network catering to parents, grandparents, aunts/uncles, siblings, friends and teachers of children who have special needs and those living with special needs. On their blog they discuss hot topics and raise awareness about various special needs. And on Friday, they spotlighted (is that a word?) SOD with a link to my lil’ ol’ blog! How special is that! You can read their spotlight right here. They also gave a shout out to my good friend, Bree, whose daughter Avery also has SOD. You can read about Avery’s story here. I met Bree and her family in Chicago last summer when Emma and I attended the MAGIC conference.

Thanks to Knowledge Safari for helping spread the word!!
