Gus' Relay Walk


TOTAL EXHAUSTION, BUT A HUGE SENSE OF ACHIEVEMENT best describes Gus' feelings and emotions today. Last night and this morning was the Relay for Life. Gus spent 19 hours at the Ennis track field participating in his first fundraising walk for cancer. He was overwhelmed when his goal to walk became reality.

JDL Construction, the team Gus, Lindsey, Scott and I walked with came in second for funds raised in this county relay. There were 23 teams involved. Gus appreciated so much everyone that donated money towards his dream of walking. We feel so blessed.

The Madison County Relay's goal was to raise $50,000.00 this year. Instead, they raised over $64,000.00! We loved being a part of that success.
