Hello again!
Matt and I are running on Sunday to raise money for isupportadoptions.org. We sent an email out today to family and friends and I wanted to share it with you.
Kristy is running the New Jersey Marathon this Sunday. I’ll be doing the Half Marathon because it’s so much fun. Hopefully I finish before she does.
In any event, we’re hoping you could sponsor us on behalf of I Support Adoptions, a charitable non-profit organization that provides support (financial, informational, and emotional) to families seeking to adopt. It was started a few years ago by two of my sisters, who were motivated by their own stories.
Laura and her husband Mike adopted their son Philip from an orphanage in Ethiopia when he was 6 months old. Now he’s a handsome, smart, silly 6-year-old who wears his heart on his sleeve. You definitely know when he’s happy and when he’s not! Kris is recruiting him as her newest protégé; he can run like the wind.
Maria and her husband Kevin are in the process of adopting a little girl, also from Ethiopia. She should be coming home soon.
Laura and Maria (and their husbands) are two of the most selfless people you’ll ever meet. Their goal is to enable other families to experience the same joy they’re experiencing. I Support Adoptions has financially supported two adoptive families so far through various fundraising efforts. Your donation would go a long way in enabling additional “success stories”.
If you would like to donate, click here and there’s a “donate” button on the left or go to my home page and there is a direct link on the right handside.
This is such a great cause!
This is awesome! Does their charity have a facebook page we could “like” to share the word? This is awesome!
Hi Morgan – they do! If you go to http://www.isupportadoptions.org/ISA/Home.html, all the way at the bottom is a link to their FB page! Thanks!
A sincere thanks for this thoughtful description of I Support Adoptions. We are thrilled with all of the encouragement and donations we are receiving and are in awe of the immediate response! Go Kristy and Matt! Go!
Awwwww thank you for running for such a great cause. I adopted my puppy from a shelter and couldn’t be happier. I hope you raised tons of money for this great cause!!!! And sorry I’m a little late to commenting…
