Andrew, I’m making a donation to your fund in honor of Judy Austin’s birthday. We are proud of how TeamDykeman is carrying the torch for Phil.

We are donating an amount that is affordable to us and hopefully will be of some service to this family. We were inspired by the story and we also want to support our son , Rusty Sneeden, who is running in the marathan with an injured leg. I hope this helps in some small way. If all give a little the children will be taken care of. It takes a whole village to raise a child so lets be that village together.

Andrew… I know Phil is loving the idea of you running a marathon. He is probably wondering where your boots are! In all seriousness,the kids and I are very proud of you. Austin became ill with strep throat so we had to cancel our flight to NC. But Andrew you will still be in our heart and thoughts with every step you take! Call when you get to the finish line!!! We our so proud of you! With all our love- Ginger, Austin, Emilee and Ashlee

Don’t forget, next year, some Marines want to run next to you- Semper Fidelis!!!

Andrew…thank you so much for calling us and asking me to contribute pictures to Teamdykeman website..its a small way for Jon and I to contribute to Phillips memory–along with the scholarship fund. I unfortunately didn’t know Phillip–only met him once at our wedding back in 1990, but I have no doubt he was a wonderful man. Jon has many wonderful memories of playing with you and phillip when you guys were younger and I know he thinks about those memories often. What a wonderful thing you are doing in Phillip’s memory. I have no doubt he is very proud of you.

Andrew – we are proud of you and will be cheering you on from Boston. Every step you take will honor his memory, and remind his wife and children that Philip lives on in many hearts. I doubt that I will ever forget the sight of hundreds of people lining the road as we drove many miles from the funeral home to the church that sad day. It was a stirring tribute to Philip and to the decency and goodness of his community. Kevin and I are happy to contribute to the scholarship fund.

We are long time friends of the Batemans, support Andrew in his first marathon?, and pleased to have the opportunity to contribute to the scholarship fund. I did not know Phil, but obviously he was a very special person and dedicated to serving our country. Prayers for all of his family.
