Kathleen Wrigley and her adorable children are on the cover of a new magazine available at Hornbacher's called On The Minds of Moms. There is a wonderful feature article on her and super photos of her and her family.
Check it out online at http://onthemindsofmoms.com/ or pick up a copy.
It's great to see her get recognition for the wonderful wife and mother that she is!
Way to represent the W.H.O.R.s Kathleen!

Upcoming Races
Wow! GRR is right around the corner! Training can't completely prepare you for the experience- the intensity of the comraderie, the heat, the excitement of the race and all the other teams- I'm so excited for you all! Have Fun!
Since I can't be with you at GRR, I'm hoping we can participate together in some local races coming up this fall. Dick Beardsley's for one, I didn't think I would be able to run, but now I have decided that the shoe show can wait a few hours. I'm looking for a partner in the relay-anyone interested?
Another event coming up October 18 is the "Step Out Walk to Fight Diabetes". This is more of a walk than a run, so it would be a great family event. There is no entry fee, and no set distance. You walk/run for 30 minutes, either inside or outside. There will be breakfast, door prizes, and Games Galore. I plan to nordic walk the event. I would like to invite you all to join me in supporting this worthy cause. To learn more, or to join the team, check out the team website at http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR?pg=team&fr_id=5392&team_id=320172
Looking ahead to December, the Jingle Bell Run for Arthritis is December 6 this year. The entry fee is $25, and they ask you to raise $100 to get the "official hat". I know we've run this in the past, but I thought it might be fun this year to actually form a W.H.O.R. team, dress up, and really be a presence at this fun race. What do you think? Is this an event that we want to support?

Bondi Bands
Like this post is soooo important! :)
I will be placing the order for bondi bands on FRIDAY, August 8th. if you wish to order please email me or post your order here. As I mentioned last night, she has several NEW styles posted on the site (www.bondiband.com). Additionally, she now carries these styles in "children's" sizes as well...in case your daughters are stealing them from you!
We currently have an order for 30 which prices the bands at $4.25 each. if we reach an order fo 50, the bands will be $4.00 each. I doubt we will reach 75 bands again...but should there be a desire for that many, they will be $3.50 at that time.
just let me know if you are ordering...and what you wish to order. thanks!

Innovis Health
Thank you to Jen Jones Dees and INNOVIS HEALTH for the $1000 donation to Women High on Running! Absolutely outstanding! Absolutely amazing! We are a lucky group of women....a fortunate group...to have such support from the businesses in our community.
Who would have thought three years ago when we started running as a very small group of friends that we would expand into a large group with a "name", running as a team for a greater cause than just ourselves? We are so lucky.
It is my understanding that no one went out knocking down doors to gain these sponsorships. They were just presented as an opportunity...and these businesses came on board. I am sure they all have their own reasons for supporting us...but let's keep them in mind as we run this upcoming relay. They are keeping our personal costs down so that we can just run....to have a lifetime experience...to focus on why we got into this in the first place, fun, camaraderie and a personal challenge.
our current sponsors are as follows
Innovis Health $1000
Extreme Pita $500 + Hospice Fund Raiser
Coldwell Banker $500 in-kind
Great Plains Cycling Club $250
Northern Improvement $150
Wells Fargo Insurance $150
Bank of the West $150
Fantasy's $150 inkind costumes and make up
Granite City $150 (gift certificates for post party)
Dick Beardsley Running Company $150 in kind
Hornbachers $100 gift certificate
Walmart $50 gift certificate
I look at that list and just think....wow.

$218.68!!!!
Leslie is a ROCK STAR!
In the last 2 weeks, Leslie has turned in nearly $500 of reciepts for Extreme Pita! Can you say "WOWSER!" holy schnikes! Nice work Leslie. Our grand total for Hospice to date is $218.68, which is really, really cool! I through it out there to see if we coudl get to $100 in EP reciepts and we totally did it ($127)! But don't stop collecting them~!!!!!!!
In talking with Hospice, I learned that it costs just about $300 for one child to go through thier Youth Journey Program. I am not asking you to dig into your own pockets...not by any stretch. What I am asking...is can we get to $300? And I really think we can! Keep eating at EP....or if you are doing a staff lunch, suggest EP as the group location. We have until the 17th......that's 12 more days. WE CAN DO IT!
again, here's where our money has come from:
127.18 EP
25.00 donation
20.00 state bank
46.50 garage sale
nice work ladies! We should all be so excited!

Hospice Update
Yay!
our Extreme Pita reciepts are now at 87.67! (876.70 total) NICE Job Ladies! remember to keep collecting reciepts until August 17th. And if you have any, feel free to bring them to me this week to any of our runs!
also, the garage sale was a success. though the effort was small (and last minute) Women High on Running sold 46.50 worth of "Stuff." so I will bring that to the bank today ;)
with that, I think we are currently at $179.17 that we have raised for Hospice :) That's good stuff!
