Go Lucy Go!

Lucy Krull, one of our dearest friends, was diagnosed with brain cancer (medullablastoma) in February. Since her diagnosis, our community (and people all over the world) have rallied around Lucy and her family in prayer and support as Lucy has undergone surgery and begun radiation treatments at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. If you have not read Lucy's story, please visit http://www.erikandkatekrull.blogspot.com/ to keep updated on Lucy's progress as she fights brain cancer. Be ready to be inspired by Lucy and her family's faith!
Go Lucy Go!
We don't know exactly who came up with the phrase, "Go Lucy Go!", but it caught on FAST! We all want to make sure that Lucy and her family know that we are here with them to help Lucy fight this disease all the way! And we are happy to announce that we are planning a 5K run/walk event to be held in Covington, TN (Lucy's hometown) on May 15 May 21, 2011. This event will benefit the Krull family and LeBonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis, TN.

LeBonheur is the only comprehensive children’s hospital in this region and it cares for more than 130,000 children from across the nation each year. From classroom based programs to sophisticated lab research, state of the art equipment, some of the world’s most highly respected names in pediatrics are some of the things that make LeBonheur such a valuable resource. In addition, they turn no one away because of  an inability to pay.  The new LeBonheur hospital, which opened in December of 2010 is one of the most technologically-advanced children’s hospitals in the country.  It is obvious that funding for a hospital such as this is a large issue. 
Just like our friend Lucy and her family, LeBonheur is a worthy cause for this event.


So, without further delay, let us welcome you to the official "Go Lucy Go! 5K" blog. Very soon we will be posting information about the 5K Run/Walk, sponsors for the event, and other pertinent info. Stay tuned!

Team Lucy Devotional: God, remind us that with you, we can do anything. We can overcome all obstacles and finish this race of life victoriously. Amen.
"Such a large crowd of witnesses is all around us! So we must get rid of everything that slows us down, especially the sin that just won't let go. And we must be determined to run the race that is ahead of us."  Hebrews 12:1
