My personal message:

 In a recent race Jeff and I discovered Team Hoyt. We were so touched by the love these runners have for special needs children, teens, and adults. The excitement expressed by the kids brought tears to our eyes. We immediately wanted to enter Jeff and Cailey in their first "father-daughter marathon". We had seen the story of Rick and Dick Hoyt sometime ago. Both of us were so moved by their love for one another and saw them as such an inspiration. We wanted to have a similiar experience with Cailey.

For those of you who don't know Cailey, she is a true blessing to our family.  Cailey had a severe lack of oxygen during the delivery process.   As a result she has spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy, seizure disorders, vision impairment, and developmental delays just to name few! Her smiles and sweet nature help keep our positive outlook on life.

Jeff will be running the Virginia Beach Rock N' Roll Half Marathon with Cailey next weekend, August 30. We will get to meet Rick and Dick Saturday evening during a special dinner.

I have included a couple short video clips of the Hoyt's story.  The first clip appeared on YouTube in 2006 and was one of the most shared for the year.

The second is of the Hoyts on the Today Show.

Jeff will be running to raise money and awareness of the challenges faced by the handicapped. The Hoyts are a fantastic father and son team that inspire the disabled and able-bodied alike.

If you are interested in making a donation, it is made easy through this site, and it is totally secure. We realize that next weekend is an extremely late notice, but we weren't sure if Jeff's schedule would permit.  The Foundation is extending our alloted time for collection of donations.

Many thanks for your support, and please forward this to anyone you feel might benefit from this message.

All our love, Michelle, Jeff, Cailey and Abigail
