Warrior Princess Trail Run

 

A very close friend of mine is hosting a trail race in April to honor her daughter. Chrissy Whitten is one of the most energetic people you will ever meet. She's a woman who has faced more adversity than anyone I know, and through her faith in God, a "BIG" God, she has passed through trials that would have wiped me out. Along the way, her zest for life and her testimony to her faithin God has touched hundreds--maybe thousands. Michael and Chrissy's daughter went to heaven after blessing them with 103 days of life here on Earth. It is Chrissy's desire to have this trail race, theWarrior Princess Trail Run each year on her birthday, and friends, family, and trail runners (who are always friends) can celebrate with them by running 10.3 miles or 1.03 miles. The following was borrowed from Chrissy's blog. I consider it a personal favor if as many of my friends who can, come run with us.

The Warrior Princess Trail Run proceeds will benefit babies diagnosed with T18 & T13 chromosomal disease and their families by providing assistance, support and resources as needed. The race is in memory of Michael and Chrissy Whitten’s daughter, who was diagnosed with T18 sixteen days into her life.

Lilian Grace Whitten, Warrior Princess, soared above and beyond what was expected of her life. Her first breath was supposed to be her last. She lived 103 glorious days on this earth before earning her wings. God gave us the reason why she was here through the following scripture: “So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through FAITH. And I pray that you being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the LOVE of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the FULLNESS OF GOD.” Ephesians 3:17-19
