In a land far, far from Hotlanta....Fargo, North Dakota, the Arthritis Foundation Jingle Bell Run was held today and my dear friend Mrs. North Dakota International 2008, Ang Smith and her family got up at the crack of dawn, faced the torrential wind to help raise money for the 46 million people in the US with arthritis and I'm honored that they named their team "Mere's Miracles!" Their poor fingers and toes were frozen from the chilling temps but like true fighters, made it all 3.1 miles and it only took them 42 minutes despite the wind. At the end of the walk they were greeted by a great band playing Christmas carols, hot soup, rolls and of all things, ice cream...yes ice cream! The Fargo walk had 472 runners and raised $38,000 with Microsoft matching all the money earned. WOO HOO!!! THANKS ANG! You are an awesome sister queen and have a heart of GOLD!
