So this is the month of May… exciting days here in Indianapolis. I grew up in Ohio, and each Memorial weekend we would travel to upper Ohio to see my aunts, uncles, and cousins. I remember lying in the back of our station wagon, listening to the broadcast of the Indy 500. Names like Rick Mears, Gordon Johncock, AJ Foyt, and Mario Andretti are just a handful of those who I remember listening to.
Now, living here in Indianapolis, I have had the privilege of listening to those cars as I drive through that part of our city. I see a city that erupts in excitement with all the happenings of this month.
Yet, each day, we battle a race that is one that never seems to end. One that helps us instill hope in the lives of those we serve. Hope is really the challenge, for many… they have accepted their fate and see no escape. Yet, Hope can fuel the race that leads them to more than a checkered flag, but a lifetime free of poverty.
I thank you for your help and I appreciate your sacrifice to make a difference.
The race has begun… the flag has dropped and the kids are fighting for position in life. You make that possible.
Giving Hope!
