welcome!!! |
Our church, LIFECHURCH of Waterloo, IL, holds an annual Superhero 5k to help raise funds for girls homes. These homes house girls that have been rescued from human sex trafficking. It is hard to believe that in this day and age that we still have to worry about such an awful thing, but it is still going on today. Donovan had his racing buddy, Jason, there today to race with. Sometimes he gets lonely being the only wheelchair racer in these races and he really enjoys having his friend with him! This 5k was pretty flat, minus the unevenness of the road, but overall not too shabby!!! Great time today Donovan!! We are super proud!!! Chip time 17:06.

Life Network, our local pregnancy care center, held their annual 5k in our hometown of Waterloo, IL. Unfortunately, Waterloo is full of hills and turns which make for a little difficult 5k in a chair. That being said, Donovan accepted the challenge and took charge!! He cruised the streets at a speed of 5:30 min miles for a chip time of 17:01, making him first overall by almost 2 minutes!! This boy never ceases to amaze us with every race!!! Super proud!!!
Donovan's first big race!! Holy ten miles of hills!!!! Thanks to Meghan from DASA for biking with him!! We will gladly race in the Missouri Race Series next year!! Donovan completed the 10 mile race in O'Fallon, MO. Also a big thank you to the Shriners for helping out with the race!! This race was pretty hilly and challenging for a longer distance race, however, Donovan concquered once again!!! Chip time 1:04:40!!!! Great job Donovan!!!
Today's race, a 10k (6.2 miles) has proven quite difficult. Apparently there was quite the miscommunication. It was supposed to be all paved, but Donovan ended up with about 3.5 miles on gravel. Not the small peat stuff, the 3/4 minus grade..... all in all , could have been worse. No popped tires, no road rash, and he still completed the Superhero Shuffle 10k in record time of 37:57!!!!
