Our journey to adopt and bring Annie home to Texas has been exciting and challenging. We have only gotten this far in the process because of the combined efforts of many of our friends, family, and even a few guest that we haven't met yet! In order to complete our God-given goal of adopting Annie, we will need your help!
In order to raise the needed money, we are going to host a 5k run that will include lunch and prizes. This will be a huge one-day event that will hopefully raise enough money to bring Annie home!
Here is the plan:
Very soon, we will announce the date of the 5k run. We will then open up the registration for runners to sign up. The cost to participate will be $125 per person. This will include a T-shirt, meal, and prizes. Our goal is to get at least 50 people to participate. (if we get 100, we will be almost completely funded!)
Here is your mission:
We are asking everyone to do two things:
1. Sign up to run. You don't actually have to run. (You can walk, run, or just come out and support us). I know that $125 may seem like a lot, but perhaps you could find 5 people to sponsor you for $25.
2. Find others to run with you. In order to reach our goal, we are going to have to invite as many people to participate as possible.
Here is the best part: Any one that runs will be invited to a special invitation party to meet Annie after we bring her home. Everyone who gives towards her adoption is an honorary part of our family and therefore will be invited to a special meeting so that our family can express our appreciation. We want you to meet the precious little girl that you have blessed us with!
