🥳 Happy Heavenly 50th Birthday, Rhonda 🥳

Today we celebrate our dear friend, our bright light, our forever inspiration. Rhonda would be turning 50 today, and oh how we wish we were celebrating this milestone with her here on earth. We are blessed to have walked alongside her, laughed with her, loved her and been loved by her. Our hearts feel a little heavy that the celebrations of her continue in this way instead but we will keep her positive energy going.

Her joy, her kindness, her spark, and her love for this community still shine through every Run for Rhonda moment. So many memories of fantastic celebrations remind us how deeply she touched all of us and how her spirit continues to lift people up.

If you would like to honor Rhonda on her 50th, we invite you to move your body, take time to show kindness to someone, drop some of your favorite Rhonda photos in the comments, and consider making a birthday donation to Run for Rhonda (www.RunforRhonda.com - scroll down for the PayPal, Venmo and mailing address info.) Your support helps us continue her legacy of creating opportunities and spreading the kind of love she gave so freely.

Happy heavenly birthday, sweet Rhonda. We love you always and we will continue to honor you. 💕
