Meet the Runners – #1 – Jenn

“It Always Seems Impossible Until It’s Done.”

Starting today, through the end of the running campaign, I’ll begin introducing our runners. I think the last several years, I’ve started with Jenn. She’s where days begin for me and really this whole running and fundraising adventure began as well.

Without her, this wouldn’t have happened. In 2015, I decided to embark on this and timing probably wasn’t the best. Our youngest was born in December and we had a run just 5 months later. With children 0, 2, and 4, she probably should have said no or I shouldn’t have started it in the first place….probably the latter.

But here we are. She’s allowed this craziness to take root. She’s supported it and continually asked, “What can I do to help?” It is remarkable and in the end, there was no way it wasn’t going to happen but she got sucked into it herself.

The picture above is from 2016 when I asked her to be part of our support staff by helping drive and do what was necessary to help the team. Van 2 didn’t really have any drivers because they wanted more space. Van 1, opted for two. We had Adam (Big Wheels) and then Jenn (Hot Wheels) joined us. Adam did all of the driving and Jenn kept us alive.

I don’t mean to make anyone in Van 2 sound bad. That’s not the point here but Ragnar Chicago 2016 saw temps hit 90+ and I am beyond convinced that our van was, overall, stronger because of her. She made sure we were hydrating ourselves prior to each run, stopping to support the runners during their runs, and handing them a water or Gatorade immediately after they finished so they could get something in them. She handled the van’s hydration and nutritional needs. It was still incredibly difficult to navigate and there were still bumps in the road.

I, personally had to pull up with a couple miles to go on my last run because I was cramping up and overwhelmed by the heat on crushed rock trail that had zero shade. I essentially wilted massively. Without her though, it would have happened far earlier and many of the others would have probably experienced that as well.

In 2017, she was drafted into service. With 4 weeks to go, Ryan (above right), got sick. I didn’t know where to turn initially but within 10 minutes, I looked over at her and said, what do you think? This is where I was amazed by her even more. She barely hesitated and said ok.

Having not run consistently in nearly 10 years because of life and having babies, she accepted the challenge of a sun-up to sundown and back up again running adventure on the same path that she saw everyone battle the previous year. We gave her the “easiest” set of legs and part way through, I realized it was a mistake. She should have taken on something harder because in 4 weeks of training, she did something that I struggle to do in my runs….she didn’t stop.

We pride ourselves on being a group of Average Joes who do their best and she will downplay herself every step of the way but the level of determination she displays is often amazing to me. She just. doesn’t. stop.

Advertisements

In fact, she hasn’t stopped running for us ever since her last minute addition to the team there in 2017. Each year, she’s laced ’em up and given us her very best despite her insistence that it isn’t much. She has become an integral part of this team and one who brings the “it” factor to the team.

She looks after everyone. She roots for each team member and makes sure we’re all doing well. And she does it with a smile that makes everyone around her feel comfortable and assured that we’ll all get through this together.

Her determination has led her to the point that on our mileage chart, she is now sitting firmly in 4th place of most miles run by any of our runners. There have been some pretty serious runners that have run with us. Most of those are 30-40 miles behind her on the list.

She admits that she doesn’t do this because she loves running. There’s a part of it that I think she does because it’s a good time out. It’s a time of reflection and introspection but she always says that she’d not do this if it weren’t for the causes we’ve chosen to run for and this year is no different.

Running to support the Dee’s is near and dear to her heart as they’re friends and overall around good people. For causes like that, she’s more than willing to get out of her comfort zone and that’s what this is all about and she embodies that.

If you know her, you know that’s the truth and I’d ask you to support her by supporting our fundraiser this year. Visit the GoFundMe link below to donate but make sure you drop her a note to cheer her on. She’s pretty good at doing that for others, let’s return the favor.

Set The World on Fire

Be Who God Meant You to Be and You Will Set the World on Fire

St. Catherine of Siena

May March the 1st! It’s really wild to me that we’re beginning the 3rd month of the year already. I guess I shouldn’t because the last 3 years have flown by. 2019, between everything we’ve experienced, good and bad, it feels like both 10 years ago and the blink of a eye away. It is a confounding feeling to say the least.

March the 1st, though, holds a bit of significance for Runners Doing Good. It has often been the official kick-off of our annual fundraiser. With the exception of our first year and this year, it’s always been the date where both optimism filled the day and nerves filled my stomach a bit as I experienced the gratitude of accepting this challenge and again as well as a bit of angst in whether we’d be able to pull it off.

Truth be told, I probably should have had a bit more confidence than what I’ve had because it is certainly earned. Since we began this adventure in 2015, we’ve exceeded our goals, literally, every time. The only year that we felt let down a bit, 2020, the race and fundraiser had to be cancelled, and even then our fundraiser set a record, at that time, for the most raised within an opening month.

Advertisements

Today, I write you with an update that feels a bit odd but that’s a good thing! We started this a few months early because of the need to get the dollars we’re raising to Jayme and Tony Dee sooner rather than later and we’re sitting in a pretty unique position:

We’ve raised more than $5100 already. That’s $2700 in total pledges less Facebook and GoFundMe fees and then doubled through The Dee’s matching grants. So it begs the question….what’s left to do?

The answer to that question is a whole lot. It’s put us in an enviable position where we have a massive head start. They also have money that is left to match and that’s where the next turn in direction should go. If we can help bring those dollars into the fold, we will far surpass our fundraising for any year. That’d be incredible but more so, it’d be a huge help for them.

As you can see, they are getting farther and farther along in the process and where we can help, it will only get them closer and closer to the finish line with as little of a burden as possible.

All of this brings me back to the quote from the top of this post. “Be Who God Meant You to Be and You Will Set the World on Fire.” – St. Catherine of Siena.

In some ways, I feel that this year’s run and campaign are a call to something greater. It’s something greater for the Dees and maybe just for the team.

For now, I’ll leave you with this…let’s leave out the “you will” part of the quote and tweak the quote to become more of a directive. “Be Who God Meant You to Be and Set the World on Fire.”

To me, it leaves out what is possible and gives you a more bold vision of what to do. So with that, let’s set this fundraiser on fire, net those last $2,000 of the match and set the Dee’s up as well as we can going forward and we’ll see where the team goes from there.

Happy Birthday!!!

Advertisements

Today is a special day! Today, the young lady that is arrowed, turns 14! The above picture was sent by a friend of Jayme & Tony’s to them because they noticed that M was now in the transition house that she’ll be in till she’s officially adopted by them.

My understanding is that she’s unaware of who or when the adoption will officially take place and Jayme and Tony are still waiting on some documents, etc. to go through to begin the next steps but the fact she’s moved to this location is another step in the right direction for her and them.

So today, HER BIRTHDAY, let’s keep pushing with our fundraising so that we can help them push this forward even quicker! Let’s support them and her on this special day that will be her last without a family!

It’s Time To Go Big

“Believe Big. The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief.”

David J. Schwartz

We’re at $2,180 raised so far from 15 different states!

Good morning everyone! I hope this finds you well. It is with great excitement that we announce our efforts to kick this fundraiser up a notch!

We have a very unique opportunity to help the Dees in a much bigger way and it’s why we’re putting the call out and attempting to kick this into another gear. Just like the title of this post mentions, it’s time to GO BIG! And how do we do that?

With a MATCHING OPPORTUNITY! The Dees have a chance with several different grants to double their money. They have $2500 matches, $3000 matches, and $5,000 matches!

The problem with such a great opportunity like that is that they’ve done a tremendous amount already and so the proverbial well is getting a little shallow from their current base of friends, family, and coworkers that they’ve leaned into for help along their adoption journey.

A match is a wonderful thing but when you’ve asked the same people to give so many times, it’s difficult to raise those dollars again and again. That’s where we come in!

We’ve taken some of the pressure off by organizing this fundraiser and by expanding the circle of potential donors and in the process, we’ve raised $2,180 for them so far. That’s a big number for a few reasons. One of the biggest reasons that’s significant is because we started this fundraiser earlier than we normally would, December 1st. So our kick-off coincided with the finish of the holiday season and then January when everyone is still licking their wounds from all of the spending they just did.

Now as we begin February, we’re still a month earlier than we’d normally begin a fundraiser but it also gives us a great opportunity to reassess where we’re at in this process and how we can refine it and expand what we’re doing. After hearing about their matching opportunities, it became crystal clear what we needed to do.

Advertisements

We have yet to give them what we’ve raised so far. After a conversation with Jayme, we have been given permission to take whatever we can raise, and give that towards one of those grants so that we can double that money. It makes all the sense in the world to lean into an opportunity like that where we can make our fundraising most impactful and these matching grants will do just that.

SO, we’re going to push this even harder going forward and we’re asking for your support. Whether it’s a $5 donation from a state that’s blank on our map or a $25 donation from a past donor who hasn’t given this year, or for any of our donors so far, know that your dollars will go significantly farther than when we set out on this fundraising adventure this year.

We will aim for the $5,000 matching opportunity first. IF things keep rolling in, we’ll aim at the others after that. If we can turn $5,000 into $10,000 and have support for more, then we’d be out of this world thrilled but I think starting off aimed towards that $5,000 knowing that it was our original goal, which we’ve hit nearly every year for the last several, could now lead to our largest fundraising total ever is all we need to push this harder than we ever have.

With that, please visit our fundraising link that’s listed below and help get us on that path as quickly as possible!

Thank you to all who have given so far, to all those considering, and to all who will end up giving. We appreciate you so much.

Sincerely,

Gabe and Runners Doing Good

Dee Family Update

Advertisements

From Jayme & Tony Dee:

“Thank you all so much for your prayers yesterday! THEY WORKED! Our dossier was officially reviewed and approved by the adoption committee! The approval of our dossier means Colombia approves us to adopt a child from Colombia, the next step is where we need more prayers….

We are hoping to get our referral this week. Our referral is where Colombia officially says, “Yes, you can adopt HER”, its the official green light to move forward (after we submit a letter of acceptance)! Some of the kids/ files need updated and if that is the case with her, we will have to wait longer for our referral. 😬

So: Pray her file is updated to the required specifications. Pray Colombia sends us a referral for HER! Also, she may be moving at the end of the week to the home where older children live, many of them as they are awaiting their families. She probably won’t know yet that its us, or that she is even being adopted, so pray for her to have a smooth transition in the move and that God places peace on her heart.

Do you see the additional green checkmarks below?!?! EEK! So exciting!” – Jayme Dee

More to come on what we’re continuing to do to support them but for now, please continue to pray for them and if you can, please visit the link below to support them now:

RDG4DFA: 1 Month Update!

Advertisements

It’s been a heck of a month to say the least. The last several years we’ve been blessed to have had a very generous fellow runner match our donations for a month and we’ve been able to cross $3,000 in a month because of him.

What that, obviously, means is that we’ve been able to raise approximately $1,500 in a month with private donations as a kick-off. We’re truly blessed that this person is a friend and in our corner.

That said, we’ve not put anything together with them this year because the window was tight and we needed to get some funds lined up as soon as possible so that we could ensure that expenses are covered and funds could flow to the Dee’s.

So with that, I’m excited to announce that we’ve crossed the $2,000 mark! We’ve never reached that number without a sponsorship or matching promotion giving folks the shot in the arm needed to coordinate their giving around a certain period of time.

What a great first month! So here’s a huge THANK YOU to all who have given and to those that haven’t, please consider doing so. Every dollar given helps support the team and the Dee’s as we look to give them a major boost in their fundraising efforts so that they can bring their soon to be adopted daughter from Colombia, home.

Merry Christmas Update!!!

It keeps getting GREENER!!!

Hello everyone! I’m back for one last update before Christmas and then it’ll be silent on social media till the 27th.

We are happy to report that we have now received donations from Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, and Virginia! 12 States so far!

That’s pretty awesome because I know that there are states we’ve gotten in the past that haven’t chimed in yet that I know that will. Off of the top of my head, I know that we have the ability to easily add donations from 4-5 more to get us approaching 20 states. We’ll definitely need more help to get us to halfway, which is a small goal. We’ve never gotten that many before. If we could pull that off, that’d be incredible.

In total, those 12 states have equaled $1,655 given! Beyond that, due to some things that Jenn has done on the side, I know there’s at least another $100 to add to that list so we’re really $1,755+ right now.

The last week has been quieter but that make sense. We are, as you are too, have been busy with Christmas and holiday preparations but I have a challenge that I’m ready to issue.

I might be a lot of things with this, Found of the Team, Team Captain, runner, fundraiser, etc. but I’d never say that the runner part has been particularly great. I’ve run well enough to complete the effort but it’s been more about the fundraising. The fundraising part won’t change but 7 years after this has all started and looking at our 8th campaign, I’m willing to throw a challenge out there that puts a bigger emphasis on being the best running version of myself as I can be and part of that is putting in miles in a way that I’ve never done.

Advertisements

For instance:

How?!?

Let’s face it, it’s a miracle I’ve been able to pull this off. I’m not sure if I should be amazed, surprised, or sheepish about it. 2018, I was cruising with my running and had to really taper back when I hurt my hip. I was seeing split times in numbers I’d never seen before. Seriously, for me hearing high 7’s and 8’s in my splits, it was incredible but once I was injured, it just wasn’t there. I’ve talked about that night run in northern Michigan where it just throbbed and ached so badly that I wanted to quit the run. Artie wouldn’t let that happen. Again…never heard anyone that chipper at 3 in the morning but I digress.

2019 was definitely better but I never got that type of speed back. I guess you could say I was in better shape, pain free, and at a normal base for myself. The same runs I took were faster than 2018 but again, I should have been faster than a guy with a hip problem.

2020 was a wash and honestly, I was half depressed with things. I was at home for nearly 6 months of the year and I had all of these great thoughts of running more than I ever had and I got a bike and even dabbled in that a bit but as you can see, it just didn’t manifest itself in much.

2021, was a great return to Ragnar but my mileage wasn’t good. We all were still struggling with our running and getting enough mileage. Outside of our really good runners and those blessed with youthful legs, the rest of us struggled mightily with getting our mileage in. Experience gave us the confidence that we could pull it off but could we have been better? No doubt. Were we ready for our first dose of trails? Not really. It was definitely a survive and advance type of mentality.

Advertisements

2022 won’t be that way. I have visions of considerably higher mileage totals in the coming year and enough so that I’m willing to commit to something:

IF……..

We can get to $2500 by January 1st, before we finish Ragnar Trail Michigan, I will run 1 mile for every $10 raised to support the Dee Family Adoption. That could equal a lot of running for me but if we could pull that off, I’ll be thrilled to put in the mileage.

So with that….LET’S GET AFTER IT!

To give, we have 2 ways:

On Caring

Joy is rejoicing in another’s progress…

Fulton Sheen
Advertisements

As we keep rolling with our fundraiser to support the Dees. I’ve been overcome with “stuff” getting in the way and when I think of how to continue to promote this in the middle of the holidays, the “stuff” of the season keeps bogging me down.

It’s a beautiful time of the year lends itself to work holiday parties and get togethers as well as family Christmas reunions and that doesn’t even count obligations within your own families. With children, as many of you know, there are winter sports, Christmas plays, and the expectations, fancies, and wants of Christmas.

It can be magical, but it also can be exhausting. I’ve had a few weeks here now where half the week, I’m not sure that I’ve seen the sun but for an hour each day. It’s felt like a blur. So when I hear something that’s inspirational, it shines brightly and outshines the darkness of the season.

For me, this past Sunday, the pastor at my church talked a lot about “caring.” It focused on how caring is far more than just being nice. Being nice is being nice but we are called to care deeply for others because caring is an act. It is an act of acknowledging someone’s struggle and working to make it better. It is looking at someone and seeing their pain and their struggle and doing something tangible to take away whatever may be making them miserable. And when whatever is burdening them is gone, we rejoice not just in our accomplishment in helping but because that burden, that weight, and those struggles are taken from them.

It got me thinking alot about what Runners Doing Good has tried to do in the past and what we’re attempting to do in a more direct manner this year with Tony and Jayme Dee and the adoption they’re pursuing.

For a long time now, we’ve worked to raise money for causes that were amazing organizations within our community but for us, the involvement was little more than running a crazy race and because of that effort, we’ve been able to raise a lot of money. That’s not insignificant, however, where that money when, how it was applied, and who, specifically, it impacted…those decisions were made by the wonderful organizations we partnered with.

Advertisements

With our campaign 2022 campaign to benefit Tony & Jayme Dee, the impact we’re attempting to make is one that has exponential positive repercussions. They have a mountain to climb, or more appropriately, raise, to make this dream come true but it’s more than just a dream, it’s an answer to a call.

If you read about them in our previous article: Dee Family Adoption: In Their Own Words, you know that this isn’t just something that they decided to do one day. It was something that came to them, that they’ve prayed about, that they’ve discerned if this was right for their family on multiple levels, and despite all of the challenges that an International Adoption presents, they’ve said yes. It hasn’t been easy either but then again, nothing worthwhile generally ever is but they’ve been steadfast in their faith that this is the right path for their family as well as for this young lady that they’re looking to adopt.

For us, what we’re attempting to do is an act of care that helps them raise that mountain of money so that they can pay for all of this. That is a monumental challenge in itself and with the abilities that this team has shown over the last 7 years, we’re confident that we’ll produce. But it’s more than just raising money.

When we talk about an act of care acknowledging someone’s struggles and working to lighten their burden, it’s so much more than just throwing money at the problem. Yes, the end game is to help them hit that goal but in a more big picture way, this is about taking something or things off of their list of things to do.

Over the last several months, I’ve seen and heard of them absolutely hustling and grinding to make this happen. They’ve organized multiple garage sales, sold goods at a couple craft bazaars, poured hot chocolate at a holiday parade, partnered with a local popcorn company for a sale, and most recently took orders for nearly 250 apple dumplings that they made and are delivering themselves.

Apple Dumplings….How yummy are these going to be?!?!?!?!

As you can see, the burden isn’t just monetary but in the work and effort to make it all happen. When they hit their goal, it certainly won’t be for a lack of effort. There will be no “lucking” into this. They will have put blood, sweat, and I’m sure some tears into making this happen.

It’s why CARING, in this case, means seeing that effort and supporting them through trying to raise money, as we’ve done so successfully in the past, so that the burden of operating another garage sale, another round of cooking dumplings, sitting at a craft show for a weekend, and every other thing that they’ve had to do already, is lifted. The hope is that whatever we can raise for them can eliminate a few of the things they’d have to do without our help.

Advertisements

Caring for, supporting them, and helping to lift some of the burdens upon them also has other repercussions because it brings caring, hope, and love to a girl that’s aging out of her country’s foster system.

Think of yourself as a teen. Now think of yourself feeling unwanted during this sensitive, confusing, and complex time of your life? How many of us would have gone down a darker path if we didn’t have the support of a great family? Have many of us have benefited because we had a warm home, clothes to wear, a good education, and a family that loves us? Many of us have and it’s something that no child should go without.

Supporting and caring for the Dees means that we’re supporting their caring of this girl too. It means they’re lifting her burdens by bringing her home and providing her with a life that that only the love and care of a family can give. It means she’s is lifted up and put on a path that is tremendously more positive than if she were emancipated and left out on her own someday soon.

By supporting this campaign, you will support both a family and impact a girl’s trajectory in life. Join us.

Week 1 Update!!

Advertisements

We’re a day late posting this but so far, the fundraiser to benefit the Dee’s is off to a great start. In fact, we couldn’t be happier with how it’s going. Our best month that we’ve ever had was a shade over $3,000 and that was with a match included in that so really it was a $1,500 month, approximately.

Our first week between our Facebook and GoFundMe pages? $1,240!!!!

We are most definitely well on our way. We received a couple of donations last night that gave us a pretty good boost too and covered a couple of states.

Counting those states, our map looks like this:

It’s getting GREENER!!!

As we mentioned, we’re well on our way. I won’t tell you what our total is right now but my expectation is that we’ll be pushing $2,000 or more by the time we give our 2 week update.

Dee Family Adoption: In Their Own Words

Advertisements

“We, (Jayme and Tony) have been married for almost 17 years. In 2018, God laid it on our hearts to pursue adoption while we were serving on a mission trip in Belize. We travel 1-2 times per year with Jayme’s nursing students serving in mountain/jungle regions of Belize. On this particular trip, our team stayed on the grounds of a girls’ home. All the girls in the home were removed from their families for various reasons. We spent our time connecting and building relationships with the girls while we stayed there. Each child we met held a special place in our hearts and as we were excited as we returned in subsequent years to continue to interact with the same group of girls.

On a specific trip in April of 2019, Jayme had a deep emotional conversation with one young woman in particular. The children’s home was closing per government regulations and the girls had all been told that their immediate future was unknown. It was at that moment when God confirmed in our hearts that adoption was a path he wanted us to take. We jumped in with both feet and were so excited at the potential of adding another sweet girl into our lives (one who we already knew and loved!).

Not many adoption agencies work with Belize so we found an attorney in Georgia who had facilitated multiple Belizean adoptions in the past. We started our adoption process on this child’s 15th birthday, knowing we were in a time crunch to have the pieces in place that we needed prior to her 16th birthday.

Advertisements

God was so faithful, taught us to trust Him deeply and showed us we could lean into Him more closely than we had ever experienced. Throughout the process, we heard Him speak in many very intimate ways, which confirmed that we were stepping forward in faith on a path he had laid. However, we know that His ways are not our ways and His path for us doesn’t always lead where we expect it to, but we are comforted in the fact that He is in control!

When we learned our adoption journey was halted, we were heartbroken. We were told from our attorney in Belize that the child was being pursued for adoption through a domestic Belizean adoption, therefore the door for us to adopt her had closed. Through our grief, we knew that God opened up that space in our hearts because He intended to fill it!

In September of 2019 we had asked a question in an adoption group that came to mind as we wrestled with our grief. Through that Facebook group, we met a wonderful friend who shared with us about her orphan hosting journey with Project 143. As we researched this organization and the idea of orphan hosting, we knew that this is the next step in God’s plan for us.

Project 143 provides an avenue that orphans can come to the US for 5 weeks and experience the love of a family and have the opportunity to be “seen”. After hosting, these children have a higher probability of being adopted- most of these children are between the ages of 9-15. This age group of children are generally less likely to be adopted and that broke our hearts, knowing the desire we had to give an older child a family.

Advertisements

We had the amazing opportunity to host our new daughter in the Spring of 2021.  Hosting was originally supposed to happen in Summer of 2020 but due to COVID, our hosting was cancelled twice. The time came and we were so thankful to have her here for 3 weeks in March/April 2021. “M” acclimated well into our family, interacting well with each of our children. “M” enjoyed riding bikes, playing in the yard, dancing, going to the zoo and aquarium, swimming in a hotel pool, bowling, cooking, sharing family meals, meeting extended family, sitting in the hot tub, going to a trampoline park, playing games at an arcade, going to church,
and watching movies.

In conversations with our children after hosting, each child indicated that they are excited to add “M” to our family and will accept her as a sister. Our girls are elated to learn more about her and get to know her more when she joins our family. We have shared our adoption plans with extended family and they are fully supportive of her joining our family. While “M” was in our home for hosting, she was able to meet both sets of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.

Tony’s sister has adopted multiple times from Bulgaria, including a child with significant special needs so adoption is not foreign to our family. Over the years that have followed the heartbreak from our first adoption attempt, God has
shown us that He had a purpose for our experience. He softened our hearts to adoption for a child that we already loved and gave us many signs and experiences to deepen our trust in Him. He laid the foundation of that deep trust to use as a building block throughout our current adoption process and we are so thankful for His sovereignty.

We hope and pray that God will work miracles throughout our adoption process, making it smooth, fast and in alignment with His plan for our family.”
