We remember Maddie when she was just a bump in her mom's belly. Later, we saw Maddie's beautiful face and heard her great giggle. We are Arnie Bev and Uncle Eddy (aunt and uncle to Dustin/Kathleen & Ruby/Anja). Your strength and courage flows through every word you share with us. We are sending it back to you times 52.4! On your way to Vermont (Dustin/Kathleen/Ruby/Anja can't wait to have you be their 'neighbors') please know we have a place in Gray for you to rest if needed. We already know that you will move forward with grace but we have plenty of peanut butter and a simple home that is always children friendly! (The tadpoles will be in the backyard pond soon!) Our church has had your family on our prayer wheel since your trials began. The angels are carrying you on their wings of love. May your journey be gentle. Healthy hugs and blessings, 'Arnie Bev and Uncle Eddy' *Just for the record...Dustin ate that much when he was 4 years old! Dear Maddie, Emily and Brad,

I've been following your story for a few months now and still can't fathom what you must be going through. Marathon training is rough - and probably makes you eat like a truck driver too! But then to have Maddie sick too?! We're pulling for you. And I'll be cheering for you at the Trials in less than two weeks! Good luck! Emily R. (Greater Boston Track Club) Hi Emily and Co.

Oliver loved "running" the Fund run. Thanks, Brad, for all your fatherly encouragement and for the glow stick! That provided hours of entertainment. I was sorry not to get to run with you, Emily, but had a nice catch up with Brad. Clint was sorry to have missed the group, too (my fault completely!) Next time, I'll encourage Oliver to share with Maddie something less fattening than a gummy worm! He he he he he. I better go to bed... Love you guys. Oh, let us know please when we can help drive stuff to VT. noisy kisses, Ellie Give Maddie’s big belly a raspberry kiss from me!
