First 5K Run a Success/ Gifted Family Meets their Daughter

   
       What a great week-end this turned out to be! We had 30 people come to our run/walk and support Be The One. Our over-all winner was Ryan Salmon who ran with a time of 20:39. Right behind him was the 18 and over winner, Marc Loveless, with a time of 20:46. I do not think either of these young men had ever run a 5K before. The winner of the walker division was Julie Loveless with a time of 36:45. We raised over $500.00 for the agency! The morning was beautiful and we had young children and even a few canines helping us out. Thank you to all who came and donated to the cause of seeing orphans in their forever families. .
      A special thank you to Concord Community Church for hosting the event.




     Another bright spot for the day was that I saw our first grant recipient united with their daughter. They are in Shanghai right now and beginning their 2nd day with her. May God bless them on this journey.
