WOW! What a huge accomplishment. I was tired just trying to spot the Team Dykeman runners! You guys are awesome! Ginger, Ashlee, Emilee and Austin, it was so nice to meet you. Ashlee was my bus buddy on the way up and back from Arlington Cemetery and to hear her talk about her Dad brought a tear to my eye. Andrew, thank you for coordinating everything and being so passionate for this cause. Julie, thank you for staying at the finish line waiting for all of Team Dykeman to cross. Kim, thank you for being my walking, hiking buddy trying to “catch up” with the runners. Jason and DeWayne, thank you for supporting Rusty and pushing him to run on the days he didn’t feel like it – from you it was support, from me it was nagging! ☺ Jane and Ray Finch, thank you for welcoming us into your home and for getting us the best parking spot in DC on race day! And last but not least, Rusty, I am SO proud of you for doing this!! As soon as you got to the starting line, it was on! You were so determined and fired up to finish and YOU DID IT!! Thank you for texting me throughout the race to let me know how you were doing. Seeing you cross that finish line with DeWayne was one of the happiest moments in my life. I love you!
