Thanks for walking by my side on this journey. Thank you to my MIL- thank you for going to the store multiple times for tape, ice, energy drinks, an umbrella, etc. then bringing us coffee at 4am and literally giving us your sweatshirt off your back. Thank you to my team (Mitch, Scott, James, and Jona) Thank you @mitch_it_up , my trainer- thank you for all the workouts and time you spent away from your family. Thank you for the meal plans and detailed description of what I should be eating and drinking. Thank you Scott for keeping us safe, checking my vitals and oxygen, keeping me hydrated and fed. You did so much to make sure I stayed on track and healthy. Thank you for feeding me nerd clusters from your hands haha Thank you James for supporting me and encouraging from the first time I told you about the crawl. Thank you For reading scripture in some of my darkest times during the crawl and pointing me to Jesus. For blasting music and asking me nonstop trivia questions. Thank you @jona_gallegos_music for joining us after playing your guitar all Bloomsday (go check out his music).

Monday, approximately 9:30 am, Brenton successfully completed Bloomsday after Bear Crawling since Sunday at 10:15 am. A large crowd was present to congratulate him on this outstanding achievement. The crowd included a team from Bloomsday who were there with balloons, the finish line, and an official finisher shirt. To date, $9,000 has been raised to support individuals in recovery. Congratulations, Brenton!

Happy 50th Bloomsday! Thousands and thousands and thousands of people ran, making it one of the top timed races in the U.S. We hope you had a fun time walking, running, or racing through Spokane.
