Sympathies and Prayers

While the Spokane 2 Sandpoint relay was certainly the highlight for many of us in our running careers, it was also a difficult time for the race directors and a couple of our fellow running teams and their families. Tragedy struck the race early on, shortly after exchange 3 when one team, with whom we had quickly become friends with, saw a fellow runner struck by a car. Robin was runner 4 on the Jiggle Belles team. That team rocked, they were so awesome, and full of so much energy! Last we heard Robin was recovering from some broken ribs and a broken leg. Then again on leg 29 a runner and her cyclist pacer were struck by a drunk driver. The runner survived, but the cyclist did not. I think I can speak for ALL of the Shiny Pennies when I say we just want those teams, as well as their families, and those involved in putting on the race that our thoughts and prayers are with you. There is nothing we can say that will ease these difficult times, but know that you are in our thoughts and our deepest sympathies go out to you. God Bless!
