I signed up for my first 5K yesterday. It was a whim. I paid my fee quickly so I wouldn’t change my mind. Then I convinced Heidi to run with me.

I’m not a runner–I generally dislike running, but I’m ready to change my mind about running.
This cause is enough to change my mind.
The race benefits The Women’s Clinic of Kansas City. My home town has a Planned Parenthood clinic right across the street from the high school. It’s been there for years, making me feel sad and helpless at the same time. In 2004, the next door space in the strip mall opened up, and The Women’s Clinic took action. Now side by side across the street from the high school are TWO choices. In 2011, thanks to the generosity of donors they opened a second clinic in Grandview, MO. As donations flow in, more clinics can open.
The Women’s Clinic offers a free pregnancy test and SONOGRAM to every woman in crisis. Plus ongoing support, medical referrals, and post-abortion counseling for those reeling from past decisions. They take donations of maternity clothes, baby clothes, toys and gear too. And offer classes and volunteer opportunities to those who want to help make a difference.
All of these services take money to keep real choices available. If you feel passionate about life, will you donate today?

I wish I was closer Angela. I too dread running and have just started and look forward to doing a fun run!! Good for you and your 5km run!!! XxDani
Dani, I wish you were closer too :). I can hear your adorable accent in my mind when I read your notes. I find that with a goal to run for–I look forward to training days. That is a big change for me. Oh and the special time with my daughter, Heidi–we wouldn’t trade that for the world.
Hey Angela,
I am a regular reader from Germany and I like your blog very much. I would have donated, but as I don’t live in the U.S. and don’t have a credit card, I can’t. Is there any possibility to donate via PayPal? If so, then I would do it. Wish you all the best for your run. Veronika
Veronika, you are so sweet! Yes, you can donate via paypal and I will add your donation to the race page maually. I can take the cash out and put it with our other cash donations. That’s quite an honor to have a sponsor clear from Germany!
Our free paypal account is under my husband’s email address darrencoffman@yahoo.com. I have a space on the sponsor page to add a message from you if you like and be sure to let me know what free gift you want. 🙂
Warm regards,
Angela
Thank you, Mandi and Garland for your donations! Now we each have a sponsor. 2% of the way there!
