Kailey’s Thank You

My incredible adventure began in January of 2012 when I recieved my invitation to run for Down Under Sports in Australia.  It was a great honor to be two of the ten to represent Texas.  As Mckail and I “began” to look at the amount of money needed to make our dream come true, we realized we couldn’t do it alone.

So, we reached out to members of each congregation and God took over.  He sent us two incredible women; Gerry Lang and Erinn Berge.  Together, with our families support, the work began.  They encouraged us to speak with our own church families and helped us reach out to this amazing peninsula.  I can’t begin to describe how proud I am to represent my community, my church and my school.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart for your support.  We couldn’t have done it without you.  All I have to say is “IT IS A GOD THING”.  We leave July 1 and return July 9.

Mckail’s Thank You

As of Saturday, April 21, Kailey and I have reached our goal of $9000.00 to compete in the International Track Meet in Australia with Down Under Sports.  The community pushed us over the top with our final bake sale and photography sale at the Gulf Coast Market.  I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to everyone who has helped Kailey and I reach our goal,  We began thinking this would have to be some kind of miracle to reach the $9000.00, but by the grace of God and everyone who had donated their time, cakes for bake sales, and money (from nickles an dimes to $1000.00, we as a community and town have raised the goal.  I want to personally thank Mrs. Erinn Berge,  Mrs. Gerry Lang,  Sarah Standridge, John MIchael Reynolds for making the youtube video.  Thank you to CrystalBeachLocalNews.com, The Beach Triton, and Cumulus for keeping the community informed.  Thank you Guideaux, Stingeree, and Port Bolivar Volunteer Fire Station for letting us use your facilities.   Mrs. Tucker, good ole Kailey Tucker, my parents (Casey and Steven), my sister, Blaine and brother Seth.  Most importantly Jesus. Without Him and the power of prayer we wouldn’t have reached our goal.  Thank you for helping us accomplish this so we can compete in Australia.
