When little things turn really big

It was about 6 to 7 months ago when during a run with a friend from church that during a casual conversation we talked about how cool it would be to put a little 5K together for the church and our community.

What went from a simple conversation during a 5 mile run, now involves Olympic Gold Medal winner, Dave Wottle!

Yesterday afternoon our committee donated a historical piece of Wadsworth's past to the city that was donated to the race committee.  Yesterday we unveiled the Matchstick.

The people involved have been tremendous to work with and I'm looking forward to the next several months.  This has been an amazing journey so far and its been a blessing to be a part of this.

You just never know what God has in store for you when you say 'yes'.
