Someday I'll actually be a real blogger who updates her posts on a regular basis. Someday.
Today, I want to introduce you to a beautiful little girl named Abby. She was adopted from Guatemala several years ago, but now has leukemia. She has been receiving chemo treatments since 2008 and has 170 days to go. To read her full story, you can click here.
Abby has a wish: to be cancer free and have a baby brother or sister. Her parents, Brent and Michelle, fully support her desire for another sibling. They have such a passion to adopt another child, though the upfront costs of this are exorbitant.
I am a goal setter. I have been for as long as I can remember. When I was a senior in high school, I set this goal for myself: to run the Boilermaker before I graduate from college. It's a 15K road race (that's 9.3 miles, if you're curious) that spans the city of Utica. I am so not a runner by nature, but I want to make this happen--not just for me, but for Abby.
I'm asking that you become part of Abby's Wish by sponsoring me to run. Donate per mile or donate for the whole race. Pray for Abby and her family. Help make Abby's Wish come to fruition. My goal is to bring her family $930 ($100 per mile) closer to giving another orphan a mom and dad.
Donations can be made directly to Abby's Wish by clicking here. Please be part of making Abby's Wish come true! Do it for Abby. Do it for her family. Most importantly, do it for the child that will be rescued from poverty and given a forever family.
