Thank You for your Generosity!

Thank you for your generosity towards the Christy McRobert's Recovery Fund. PB has matched your donations of $80.00 and will send a check for $160.00 along with a Get Well card to Paul Beiker, President of the Olathe Running Club, who is managing the fund.

Paul has shared an update on Christy's recovery, "Her recovery was slow going in the beginning. She just became fully awake within the last week...but she fell while walking...and is back in ICU. Her condition has really taken a turn for the better in the last week and we are very encouraged...Thank you for your concern and help."
