This last Friday was the Omaha Midnight Run. A year worth of planning and worrying, months of collaborating and promoting, long days and even longer nights. Many sacrificing personal and family time to see this night be a success. Pounding the pavement from all walks of life, coming together to make a difference in our city.
While there's still some work to do, I'm actually stunned that it's over! What do I do now that I have all this free time again? Blog about the Omaha Midnight Run! Some highlights were:
*Seeing the creative running costumes people came up with
* Hearing Bobby-Jo from the Abide Network speak about how their organization is changing North Omaha one neighborhood at a time and seeing the kiddos they brought get into the spirit of OMR
*Interviewing Ron Wright from http://400plus.com/
*Listening to Ty talk about the Hope Employment Academy: http://www.hopecenterforkids.com/
*Watching the 402 Street Beat Band perform their stomp/slam/jam music. (I'm seriously lining these guys up for my birthday party!)
*Lastly, having my husband work by my side and having friends from different aspects of my life come together to support the Omaha Midnight Run.
Another year, another winner, another finish line, another chance to make a difference.
Will you join us next year?
