Running for Reese  - Coast Guard 5K and Kids Fun Run 1K

As many of you know Reese was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor affecting her balance and gait. At 6 years old, Reese should be spending her days playing, laughing, and RUNNING with her sisters Laney and Wren and her cousins. Instead, she is bravely facing a battle no child should ever have to fight — a brain tumor. When our family received this diagnosis, it shook us. But it cannot shake our faith.
We believe God is still a healer.
We believe He walks with us in the valleys and not just on the mountain tops.
And we believe Reese’s story is not finished.
Reese has already shown more courage than most of us show in a lifetime. Through hospital visits, tests, and treatments, she continues to shine with a sweetness and strength that reminds us daily that the Lord is near. So many of you have shown up in ways we could not imagine and we are so thankful for all of you.
So, with that, we are stepping forward in faith.
We are forming a team - Running for Reese - to run the Coast Guard 5K as a declaration of hope — trusting that every mile represents prayers lifted, every step represents faith in motion, and every donation helps carry this family through a season they did not choose. Reese may not be running right now, so we will for her.
How You Can Stand With Reese
-Join our team and run with us.
-Give if you feel led. You can find the gofundme on the Reese's Rally group.
-Most importantly, pray.
- Pray for healing.
- Pray for wisdom for her doctors.
- Pray for peace that surpasses understanding.
- Pray for strength for her parents.
We may not know what tomorrow holds, but we know Who holds Reese.
Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus in this season. Your love, prayers, and support mean more than words can express.
“Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” -Matthew 17:20
