BARRY'S CORNER - LIVING IN ELKMONT


 
The Heart of an Eagle boys scout award was given to the SOAR (Special Olympics Awareness Run) this morning. Thanks to all who have participated in the past and the up coming run tomorrow and Friday! Thanks to Limestone Co. Sheriff's DEPT., Athens P.D., Brad Stovall and all who have donated and given their time to help these athletes!
 
 
Felt weird accepting this award without all of the great people who have put in the miles with me each year. The breakfast this morning honoring the scouts of America was a servant themed event. I have been blessed to work with some of the greatest servants God put on this earth. The teachers and support professionals and administrators I work and have worked with are the most selfless people around. The special needs students are very well taken care of at my school and schools all across Limestone county. I have also been very blessed to be a part of the BEST running community around. North Alabama has great runners who are not only physically talented but also have giving souls that shine every day. They have selflessly put in the miles to raise awareness for these special athletes and raised and donated many dollars to help transport them to State competition. What other friends would stay up all night running and listening to my stories! I love each and every one of them. Thank you all so much. Looking forward to tomorrow's run! These athletes deserve all of the praise for getting out and trying their best in these games. Proud of all of them!
