Orion and his medal 
Orion and most of his Parkside Community School 5th grade class have been running twice a week. They typically get to school early on Tuesdays and Thursdays to run a half mile each time. They had pledged to run 26 miles total for their personal health. Orion has probably run more than twice that distance as he very often jogs with his Dad in the greenbelt on the weekends. In mid February, the children and their families all gathered at the Tony Burger Stadium to run the Final Mile. Afterwards, each was given a medal for their perseverance.
Speaking of personal health, it is amazing to think that less than 2 years ago, the cute little red head was fighting for his life after suffering from his AVM. I know that almost everyone who saw him while he was in a coma uttered a prayer for his recovery. Then when he was so valiantly recuperating, more requests for him were made for his health. It has been a long road that he has traveled but just look at how very much love he and all of us have been constantly nurtured with. We might whine about not having enough money for “stuff” but the next time you think about this, please stop and tell the Big Guy up there “Thanks” for all the love and goodness we have in our lives.
And do consider your own personal health. Remember, the best gift you can give to the world is a healthy you!
Love to all, Orion’s Nana Colleen
