So what is dyslexia? Well Rosie Hickle (Executive Director of the Dyslexia Institute of Indiana (DII)) did a better job then I ever could of defining dyslexia during her
recent appearance on Indy Style on Friday (follow the attached link).

Rosie's words define our families experience with dyslexia, and I imagine countless other Hoosier households. It is the work DII does that allows children who suffer the effects of dyslexia to rise above this disability and meet their full potential. The work the DII does on a daily basis allows parents to sleep at night. It is because of this daily work that I decided to do what I could to help raise money for this great and valuable organization.
If you have committed to donating, again I want to thank you. If you have not yet made that commitment, please consider a donation. I think we often think, "well, I am not able to donate $50 or $100 so what good is a $5 donation?" $5 gets us that much closer to giving a young person and their family the opportunity to experience the hope that DII provides students and their families on a daily basis. And through your donation you will be a part of creating that hope.
Scorecard: Celebrated 10 years of marriage to my beautiful bride on Thursday September 2nd. Weekly mileage hit 30 this week. Took a step back from the long run this week with a focus on quality shorter runs, with a 10 mile run on Saturday.
