"Golden Update"
Hello all...
Just got a call from Jessica's mom with an update on the transplant games. So far the family is coming home with four (yes 4) GOLD Medals!!
Jessica = 3
Lil' Sis Katie = 1
Jessica even had the chance to run with the boys relay team...yes she actually can brag about beating the boys!
I'll post more as I hear it. In the meantime check out the following sites:

(there is a mention of Jessica in the story and a picture of her and her basketball team)

if you know what Jessica's friends, mom, and grandparents look like you can catch a glimpse of them in the slideshow of the opening ceremonies!! You can see Jessica's dad & grandparents at the 5k and Jessica running. Finally, there is also a picture of Jessica receiving her gold medal after the 5k run.

Finally an Update!
Sorry for the delay, but I was away on a much needed vacation. For those that have been patiently waiting, here are a few words from Jessica:
"Thank you to every one that came and donated at the benefit. I had a blast!!
The fun run was more than fun, and even better is that my cousin Shaun came in first overall.
The kickball tournament was also a lot of fun, even though my team came in last place, but congratulations to the Parents team for winning first place, way to kick!!!
The benefit raised over $3,000, thank you everyone.
The food tasted great, thanks to the help of my employer at the L&M Cafe, Martha Rommel, for making some of the food.
Also thank you to the Melrose Satellites 4-H club, which I am proudly apart of, for working the concession stand.
Thank you to all my friends and family who helped out in any way to make this benefit possible.
And a special thanks to Tina Braun, without her there is no way that the benefit could have gone on. I had a great time and I hope that everyone else did as well.
