Run For The Rose Update- We've Reached $10,000!

I remember the day I came across the Dr. Marnie Rose Foundation, I remember the day I found 'Run For The Rose'- it was February 17, 2014 to be exact- and I remember the day we had $775 donated to our team. I remember calling Mom over to the computer to make her see the people who had donated, and I remember saying that I couldn't believe we had raised that much money. It's amazing how far we've come since February 17, 2014. 

Fast forward to March 30, 2014, it was race day and we had almost 50 people on our team who had signed up to run/walk, and even more who showed up to support Dad and cheer us on during our run. We flooded the course, and Reliant Park, with maroon shirts, which as an Aggie of course made me extremely proud, and Dad was able to share with us this special day. At that point we had raised over $9,000, and I was still in disbelief that so many people donated to such an amazing cause and so many people joined us that day.

And now, fast forward again to 4/9/2014, the day we realized we had raised $10,000. 

$10,000!
$10,000!!
$10,000!!!

I'm truly in disbelief. It's been an extremely difficult few weeks, and these last days have pushed and tested my faith more than ever. And now, it seems like my faith in people and in this plan have been restored. 

You see, Dad's fight is far from over, and, just like I told him last night, "You have to keep fighting. You keep fighting and we will keep fighting." The money we raise directly funds research and treatment options at MD Anderson, treatment options that are directly associated with Dad's other doctor in Houston, treatment options that are saving lives. 

This experience has reminded me how good people are, how much people truly care, and that society is still showing that among all the bad, there is still so much good!

Keep praying, help us to keep fighting, and let's BTHO Brain Cancer!
