Thank You, Team Chelsey 2009!

George Elliston once said, “How beautiful a day can be when kindness touches it.” And so... what a “beautiful” day, March 15th was because of the kindness the members of Team Chelsey brought, unselfishly and with much love, to celebrate Chelsey’s memory and spirit. Again, we her family, thank you from the bottom of our heart.

Reflecting over the past 16 months, our gratitude towards each of you is immeasurable. Thank you for your continued encouragement, love, prayers, and support. Team Chelsey remains an instrument in our healing process, even now, more than a year later. Once again, you have allowed us to share with you this instrument, the gift of Chelsey’s spirit, and the memory of her love. Thank you, just simply thank you......

Through your continued generous contributions, we will now be able to continue to share Chelsey’s love and encourage her "spirit of living” with an Endowment Fund in her name at the University of Arkansas. We are already looking forward to Team Chelsey 2010. So... get your running shoes ready! One final thought that Chelsey would want each of you to remember:

"Life is not measured by
the number of breaths you take,
but by the moments that take your breath away."

2009 Team Chelsey Race Weekend Festivities

Greetings "Team Chelsey!"

Race day is now a little less than 3 days away, and we hope you all are looking forward to coming together for another year in Chelsey's name. We just wanted to update each of you on t-shirt pickup, race day meeting place/time, and post race celebration.

1. T-shirts: T-shirts will not arrive in Little Rock until Saturday afternoon. We wanted each of you to have them before "race day." So, in the tradition of last year…….. We will be at the same Starbucks from 3-4 pm on Saturday for you to pick up your shirt. For those of you who are running, but won't come to town until Sunday morning, let me know, and we will come up with an alternate plan for you to have your shirt Sunday morning. The others of you who are not running or will not be in Little Rock, I am still planning on mailing your shirts, probably sometime next week.

2. Race Day Meeting Time/Place: The start and finish of all the races are located in the River Market Area. The 5K begins at 7:15 am (new start time this year) and the half marathon at 8 am. The actual start line is in front of the Clinton Bookstore. Let's meet for a pre-race "Team" photo.

3. Post Race Party: No gathering is ever sufficient without some type of party or celebration. In fact, Chelsey would not want it any other way!!!! Therefore, you are all welcome to join us at the house following the race for a light breakfast/brunch. We want to see and visit with each of you. It is the very least we can do to say thank you for all your love and support.

Looking forward to seeing and hearing from all of you this weekend!!!!
