This is SO amazing I had to post it. Please take a look.

A son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?' The father who, despite having a heart condition, says 'Yes'. They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's request of going through the race together. One day, the son asked his father, 'Dad, let's join the Ironman together.'

To which, his father said 'Yes'.

For those who didn't know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island

Father and son went on to complete the race together. View this

A message From Lynda and Bud Bottcher about Sumatanga

As you know, the Capital Campaign has been underway for several months, and we have reached what you might call `critical mass'! Many of you

attended the dinner in March, it was time to get on with the solicitation of major gifts. So far, this has netted just over $300,000. To be on track, this should realistically be at $3 million - pledged!

Since this is not the case, we are - according to the Trustees - to the `do or die' point. If this campaign fails, we lose our beloved Sumatanga. It is that serious!

Be sure to click on the read more link for the entire letter.

"We all can pray. We all should pray. We should ask the fulfillment of God's will. We should ask for courage, wisdom, for the quietness of soul which comes alone to them who place their lives in His hands."
-- Harry S. Truman, 33rd U.S. President
