This morning I participated in a 5k “Run for Nie” on Grandview. I ran and appreciated the ability I have to do so. I was grateful for my health and prayed for Nie, her recovery, and her family. It was touching to see so many people come show their support. Her sisters and mom were there. I am pretty sure I saw Mindy Gledhill as well, who knows Nie and is doing a benefit concert in Mesa next weekend for her. I was a little starstruck by the LDS singer and blog-stars. :) Before the race, I made friends with a nice girl named Brooke. We talked a bit, but when we started running we parted ways. Brooke, thanks for talking with me so I didn’t feel like a loser standing there by myself. I saw you cross the finish line as i was getting in my car and I cheered for you!
Tonight, pray for Nie.

NieNie and CJane are my favorite blogs. I was so hoping that one of you would run for Nie. I would -if I weren't 9 months prego. We should pray for Nie - and hope to be as amazing as she is as a mother and wife.
Very inspiring family. I was interested in the details of the crash and the latest health update for Stephanie and Christian, so I googled their names and it is amazing how many people are following their story. They were even featured on the Today Show with Matt Lauer recently. You can view the videos on youtube. Stephanie was burned over 83% of her body and is slowly recovering. Ang, you are awesome to pitch in to help where you are able. You are very similar in many ways to StephaNIE-NIElson.

Ang- I am so jealous you got to run. That was so good of you. I found out about the run after I had already planned a get together up at Steve's cabin. I wanted to go so badly. Thats great they had an awesome turn out. You are good to post this story up here to spread the word. Steve and I have followed their blog and recovery and donated what we can. It makes my heart ache to know what happened to them after reading their truly MAGICAL (you hit that dead on) life stories.
Angie,
I read this post and hadn't ever heard about Nie. So I went to her blog and couldn't stop reading. It is so uplifting. She is truly an amazing person in lots of different aspects. Thanks for introducing her to me. I think it is so neat you ran for her. You are amazing too.
