As many of you know, our daughter’s horse slipped and fell on her rounding a barrel during practice last week. It crushed her left foot and put an immediate stop to many of the competitive activities she spends most of her time practicing daily (cross country, basketball, rodeo). She has surgery this week and a 3-4 month (hopefully) recovery ahead of her. Since her injury, I have been so proud of her positive attitude and outlook. It’s going to be a difficult few months, but we want to help her make something great come from the situation. As parents, it’s easy to focus on all that your kid is missing when life throws him/her a curveball like this and even start a pity party. Well, we want to completely flip the script during her recovery and help an organization that gives hope to kids and adults with intellectual disabilities through training and competition. Special Olympics gives these athletes continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community. I am pledging to run/walk/bike 100 miles during her recovery and am asking for your help with making these miles matter. If we can get $10 donated for every mile, we will reach our goal of raising $1000 for Special Olympics of Arkansas. Please join us in donating for #milesthatmatter!

It's unseasonably warm in MN, but we're moving on with the (not-so) Polar Plunge to support athletes in the Special Olympics. As I train for a marathon and support my family in their athletic endeavors, I know how important fitness is to my own life. And I want to support local athletes of all abilities in their journey, too.If you're interested and able to support my Plunge, please send a donation. $5 or $10 would help me reach my goal of $250. If my team reaches our goal, our company CEO will top it off with another donation (and he's plunging in Michigan too)!Thanks for considering! Emily
