Have you ever wished Rachel Coleman would come perform in your town? I certainly did. I remember reading the newsletters and blog posts about fantastic Signing Time events in many different places, and wondering when it would be it would be our turn. Well, as I later found out, those events are hosted by organizations, schools, libraries, or individuals in that area who partner with the Signing Time Foundation and simply pay the expense of bringing Rachel (or the whole Signing Time group) to perform or speak.

I decided that we needed a Signing Time “Sing and Sign” concert in my hometown:  Maple Grove, Minnesota. Signing Time did not air on our PBS station, and I knew that there were many families in my community that would benefit tremendously from Signing Time. The big challenge was that between the time we found out that Rachel would be available to perform, and the date that the event was scheduled to take place, there were only 30 days. It wasn’t very much time to pull everything together, but I decided to take it on!

We want to thank all those who supported “Team Coleman/Strong Enough” in the Salt Lake Half Marathon, in support of the Huntsman Cancer Institute. It was a life changing experience for me. It was one of the hardest and most rewarding things I have participated in. I was inspired by Rachel, Cathy and my best friend Ruth to take on the challenge and I am grateful I did. Last month we shared a brief recap on our blog after the event, but thought you would enjoy some of the thoughts from those that ran.

Several of the runners have already registered for next years Salt Lake Marathon and Half Marathon. Come run with us!

Rachel Coleman – host of Signing Time pushing 9 year old Lucy in a stroller (read more on Rachel’s blog):

The easiest 13.1 miles I have ever run! Within the first 2 miles I saw a man holding a sign that said “Go Leah! Go Lucy!” I didn’t know him, but it seemed too much of a coincidence. When he saw us he came running along waving the sign. That set the tone and was just the beginning of two hours of support from fans, race participants and complete strangers. It was almost overwhelming. I smiled at each mile marker, “Three more miles until your medal Lucy!”  ”Two more miles…. One more mile!” and so on.
