Update and Thank You!

Just a quick note to update you on our progress: we've really upped our training in the past couple of weeks and are starting to realize how unprepared we are going to be on race day! ;) The heat is really intense and will be our biggest challenge. Luckily, we've had some fun people to train with lately, including Cailin Ahern and her partner Tom. Cailin is a loyal and dedicated friend and advisor to OYE and has helped us revamp our fundraising strategy this year. We went on a great run last night after a wonderful and active weekend in El Progreso to celebrate the inauguration of COPA OYE, OYE's annual soccer tournament. Ana, Tom, and Michael played in the opening game... and are still sore. Michael scored his first goal ever, Tom made some incredible saves, and Ana finally scored a goal during COPA OYE (and has a few scars to prove it)! You can see a few pictures from the weekend posted below.

We would like to thank ALL of you for the incredible support you've shown us in the last few weeks. Thanks to your generous contributions we are getting closer and closer to our fundraising goal. We are also very grateful for the words of encouragement and support you've sent us and are definitely going to need them at kilometer 21!

    Pero veremos como nos divertimos para apoyar a OYE.
