Hi everyone-
In 4 days I will run for my friend. I am so thankful to have a healthy body that has allowed me to train, heal, eat (which I've done well over the last few months), and hopefully complete this race in 1 piece. I get through my long runs thinking that Dino didn't get to rest, he didn't get to take a water break. He fought hard everyday. I miss him terribly and I cry a few tears daily, but I am also able to smile more when I think of him. I know he'll be with us on Sunday and he will push us through the finish line.
Thank you to everyone for your support. We've raised $1700 as of today. Not bad! I'll keep you updated - that number may go up this week. Just so you know, I'm going to give a check to Mary for the full amount. She can use what she needs for left over bills, and deposit the rest into Dino's fund.
Send us your good vibes on Sunday. Maybe I'll even see you there.
We're Doin it for Dino!
XOXO
Andi

Andi, Jeff and Lizzie...you are all incredible!! I wish I could be there to cheer you on along the way and meet you at the finish line with a Chalupa in honor of Dino! Love and awe, Kim S.
Hi Andi,
For some unknown reason, I have never jumped onto your blog, my daughter reminded me today that you have one. I've been sitting here reading all of your entries from the beginning. Andi, I think of him a hundred times every day and miss him too. You are doing an extraordinary thing for him - it is a testament to the love you had for each other. Tucker sounds like an amazing man, not everyone would be so understanding or supportive. Love to him and also to you and Jeff - we'll see you at the finish line!
This comes a bit late, but let's talk about nicknames - the reason I use Mimsy in my email address is because that is what Dino called me. There was an episode of "Wings" in which and older woman dated a younger man. Her name was Mimsy, thus I became Mimsy or Mims. That's my boy! You are so right that he wouldn't want us to be constantly crying - but how can we not? Love to you, Andi and good luck with your marathon!
