The weather today was absolutely perfect. Not a cloud in the sky. We showed up at Porter Ridge High School to see about 200 people gathered around getting ready to run and walk the Miracle Miles 5K for Garren. We all stood at the start line, and got ready to go. Garren took the bullhorn, and pressed the siren button to start the race, and off we went. I was toward the front when we started. I looked back over my shoulder as we rounded the first corner. It was an awesome sight to see so many people running and walking. There were people there that we don't even know - people who have been following Garren's story.
One of the highlights for Garren was meeting Dwight Stone. Dwight is a former Pittsburgh Steelers player. After the run he came over and met Garren, talked to him for a while, and left Garren with a whole bag of Steelers goodies.
Thank you so very much to each and every one of you who came out to support Garren today. It truly is amazing to see God's love poured out in so many special ways through you all. A special thanks to Stacy and Mary, and all those who helped them to pull the run off. It was a lot of fun!

Thank you and especially Garren for blessing me today....I've been wanting to do a 5K for a long time and today I realised my dream.

Garren....keep on trusting in our God...God has used you for His kingdom in ways that we would never even dream of....what a gift to be used by God in ways that can be seen this side of eternity! Never give up....none of us will either...love & prayers, Sandy & Russ
We are so happy Garren is doing so good, I heard about another little girl through some friends of ours that cheer with her that has the same thing as Garren. The family might like to hear your story so they have some positive things to look forwrd to.
