Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Just wanted to say to all of my supporters, 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I am so appreciative of the support I have had this year, in my first half marathon in February 2014, and in my preparations for this crazy 19.3 mile adventure. I feel so blessed!

Lots of mail has been sent for more requests for donations! (My hand hurts so bad as they are all hand written! Tried to make them special). If you do not receive anything from me and want me to mail you stuff, even if you are unable to make a donation and just want to support with prayers, please e-mail me your address to alyssa.davie21@gmail.com.

You can also make a TAX-DEDUCTIBLE donation and it count for your upcoming taxes if you do it before midnight on the 31st! :) Donate here.

Thank you again for your support this year. I can't wait for 2015!

St. Augustine 10K and PR!

This past weekend I ran the St. Augustine 10K.  I had a goal of running it in 1:15:00, and BEAT MY GOAL, 1:14:29.  I actually didn't think my goal was attainable, but I wanted it so bad, that I pushed myself hard throughout the entire race.  At mile 5 MapMyRun said "Time, 1 hour 1 minute 0 seconds."  And then I KNEW I could make the last 1.2 miles and beat my goal, I was so excited, and I did it!  It was a wonderful feeling!  And now I get to move on up in the corrals for my races in February!

I still need help in my fundraising.  Please consider supporting this amazing cause by donating here.  I truly believe Noah's Light will find the cure for pediatric cancer!

Happy running!

Thank you to the St. Johns Town Center Chick-fil-a and patrons!

We just had the Spirit Night at the St. Johns Town Center Chick-fil-a to benefit Noah's Light Foundation!  We racked in $65.98 just in cash donations from people who stopped by the table. THANK YOU to these generous donors! I enjoyed getting an opportunity to speak to people about Noah's Light, share Noah's story, and show them actual footage of the treatment the foundation is implementing.  I also spoke to many people personally affected by brain cancer, with family members who have passed away.  One girl's sister passed away from brain cancer and her name was Alyssa.  Crazy! I also met an aspiring pediatric oncologist.  What a great joy it was to meet these people and hear their stories.  To add to everything, The Noah Protocol was just FDA approved and will begin trials before the end of the year!!! This is so exciting! A cure is on the horizon!

Thanks Marcel and Andrea for your help!

I am still awaiting the total from Chick-fil-a for their contribution from the sales that night. I will keep you posted!

But as of right now...Holy cow! (Ha-Chick-fil-a, cows...I thought it was funny). We are 27.3% of the way to my goal! I feel so blessed! And this is before Chick-fil-a's contribution!

I feel so blessed to be supported by my friends, my co-workers, my family, and the community.

I NOAH cure is possible!!

Happy running....

P.S. I've improved my running times significantly.  I did a 5K training run last week and it was my best time for a 5K EVER. My 10K is next month in St. Augustine!

Chick-fil-a Spirit Night on October 23rd!

Updates on Red Elephant, Chick-fil-a, Crossfit, and a 10K

The Red Elephant Share Event in Tallahassee was a success and we raised $225 for Noah's Light Foundation! How awesome is that?! I am so thankful to all of my friends, to the FSU Catholic Student Union, to the parishioners of Good Shepherd parish, and to everyone who spread the word about this event and came out and supported Noah's Light!

THANK YOU.

I heard from multiple people as well that the Bishop of the Dioscese of Pensacola/Tallahassee, Bishop Gregory Parkes, said during the 6pm Mass that he had the privilege of meeting and praying with Noah and his mother before Noah's passing. WOW.  He encouraged everyone to attend the share event, and for that, I thank him.

On the horizon: Chick-fil-a is partnering up with Noah's Light to find a cure!  All those in Jacksonville, mark your calendars for Thursday, October 23rd, from 4:30pm-7:30pm.  The Town Center Chick-fil-a will be donating 20% of your check to Noah's Light.  All you have to do is say you're there for their Spirit Night!  Save the dates will be mailed out soon!

I have begun to attend Trinity Fitness for crossfit classes. I was so sore for almost a whole week, but the trainers there encouraged me after they found out that I am a runner, that I am going to get stronger through crossfit and be able to run longer and faster.  I pray this is true!

My first crossfit class at Trinity Fitness.

Lastly, I have signed up to run a 10K in St. Augustine in November.  This will hopefully be a good training run before my 10K and Half in February, and it'll also help me to move up in the corrals so I start earlier and with some more experienced runners.

Until then, I need to go for a run like now.... Happy Running!

Thank you to all of my donors!

I have reached 12% of my $2000 goal thanks to some amazing people.  I am humbled in the support I have received so far and I am so thankful for their generosity.

The Red Elephant Share Event was great, I really enjoyed it, and I can't wait to hear about the final numbers. Thank you to everyone who came and supported Noah's Light! I have a fun story I will share when I get the final word...

Please spread the word about the great things Noah's Light Foundation is doing and send your friends and family to my campaign page.

Happy running,
Alyssa
