Good morning Blaze! I was able to get in my 6m run for you this morning! It was 80 degrees when I started and I have been told it feels 20 degrees warmer when you run - yikes! I was very hot the last mile but kept going until the end - I just thought of you and the look of determination you had on your face pushing yourself forward Thank you - you inspired me especially the last mile! Here is a picture of my distance (boo on my time!) and a picture of my puppy buddy when I came back home! Have a great day, I will post again on Saturday but you will be on mind every minute

So great blaze! We love that movie here as well I wanted to send you a quick note to let you know that I shared our story with my family (I have 2 sisters and 3 brothers) and they are all very excited! So excited that my sister Kim just sent me a text that read " I walked 2 miles (the farthest I have walked) and did all of my physical therapy exercises. I thought of your adorable buddy the whole time." My sister has a dog - his name is Foster. He went with her on her walk today - here is his picture

Happy Saturday Blaze! Nik and Keegan went out and ran a mile together for you this morning Our neighborhood is having a community yard sale so they had to be extra careful with all the cars. We have a lot of hills in our neighborhood which makes it more challenging but they end on a downhill so they came home smiling! Hope your weekend is great!

Happy Monday to the best Buddy ever - BLAZE! I went out to run 3m for you this morning then decided I would add an extra mile each day and spend that mile just thinking about you! So today I ran 4m for you I hope this week you get the chance to try Cheerios again and love them. They are so yummy! One day I hope to eat French Fries with you, they are my favorite and sometimes when I run I think about eating them, silly isn't it. I hope your day starts off great!

Hey Blaze! It's raining here in Chicago so I ran on the treadmill today. Ms, Cindy's been running so hard for you, she inspired me to do my entire run at a steep uphill climb. I decided we'd do four, with the last mile being yours. Boy I was tired when I was approaching three! I kept running uphill though and once I eclipsed three, it was all you and we flew! Sprinted the last quarter mile for you! ~Shawn

5.2m for my Blaze this morning! The sun was out and so were a lot of runners! It seems I am not the only one trying to get out early! My kids were up early playing the game Risk, that game can last for days .... I am leaving soon to take Nate back to the doctor, we are hoping this visit he can finally be cleared to do things other than rest! He had a concussion about 2 months ago playing ice hockey and the recovery time for him has taken quite a while. I hope your day is fantastic and that you enjoy VBS tonight. ~Cindy

Good morning Buddy Blaze! I ran 6m for you this morning and Nate, Keegan and Nik all ran a mile for you. They were a bit crabby when they left but came back laughing and happy. Running helps gets all the crabbies out I have always said! Have a fantastic weekend Blaze

Blaze thank you so much for this photo! You definitely made my day! We have had so much rain here but I made sure to squeeze in 3.5 for you right before the raindrops fell. When I was running the song "My Hero" came on my playlist and I thought of you and ran faster! Way to make it through your double session of therapies today. You are a rock star Blaze! Tell your family we said hi! THANK YOU so much again for the picture! ~Shawn

The envelope has the instructions for the iron on on the back of his shirt. Its just the clear film and says to put a pillowcase over it and press down with the iron. I think it should stay on ok if you wash it inside out and hang to dry. Next time I am going to go a different route, Iron-ons seem unreliable. I am glad he liked the medals, I am signing up for 2 half's in the fall, he will need to coach me through them and of course the medals will be all his!! He means the world to me, this is just the beginning. ~Cindy
