Dear Friends and Supporters,
 
I write to update you on my progress and that of my blog Run Unashamed.  I signed up for the 10 k. race in Portsmouth and made arrangements for my visit to Maryclaire’s family.  I want to thank every person who contributed moral support to my endeavor and also money to the scholarship in Maryclaire’s honor.    
 
In these past five months, I have taken time to reflect on the past thirty years of my life and Maryclaire’s significance in it as I have grown and evolved.  These five months have been a time of great sadness...and also of gratitude, this last due to my realization that I had a caring friend in my life when I really needed one.  
 
I am a different person now than before Maryclaire’s passing—more honest with myself, more honed in on what is important in my life and why.
 
However, I have felt of late exhausted from sharing my story in a public forum.  I have reached a point—six weeks earlier than I had intended--where my mourning needs to be more private, with friends, therapist, and soon with the Paullis family.  Although the connections that I have made with people who read the blog and emailed me has been very special, and certainly a critical part of the journey, I am now in an emotional place that merits a discontinuation of the blog.
 
You have all been wonderful, and I am grateful.  I will send a photo of the Big Day on 11 June at the Market Square 10 k.
 
Blessings, as my dear friend Maryclaire would write, in ending such a note,

​Stacy
