Dear Friends:
Last week I received a very humbling phone call from one of the team parents of the Durango High School running teams (Cross Country & Track). The coaches, team and parents had formed a very special benefit 5K run in honor of our sweet girl Alyssa Shelton.
Many of you know she was in an accident that has left her partially paralyzed and has caused her to hang up her running shoes and her love for racing. To this devoted runner, it has been a devastation to sit on the sidelines. She fights everyday for full recovery, hours upon end in therapy and medical appointments on top of school full time. She never gives up, and knows that the hard work will hopefully payoff for her recovery.
I invite you to join us in her honor. Run, walk, skip, stroll, roller skate......she would love to see us all out there challenging ourselves in what might seem like the impossible!
Please also forward to others in your contact list so we can get the word out to our whole community!
"Whe push comes to shove you taste what your made of. You might bend, you will break, cause it's all you can take. On your knees you look up, decide you've had enough. You get mad, you get strong, wipe your hands, shake it off, then you STAND!" - Rascal Flatts, Stand (Alyssa's theme song for her recovery).
Hope to see you there!
