Shanae Patterson Rivers

I'm a NY to Carolina girl living in Charlotte with my wonderful husband of 4 years. Vince and I can say with all honesty, I'm thrilled with nervous excitement to run my very first half marathon! My running experience is limited to my prior service in the US Army and several 5k and 10k races. After reading the MSC website and its mission, I was grateful and honored to have accepted the invitation to participate in this event.

I was blessed to have had a true warrior for Christ in my life for 36 1/2 years. On March 16th my Dad, Douglas Patterson, was called home to glory. I was granted the opportunity to speak with many of his friends and acquaintances who shared beautiful stories of how he touched their lives, ministering to them in times of need concurrently working on both their physical homes and their spiritual dwellings. They confirmed what I already knew, he lived a life in Christ we were all richly blessed by.

By participating in the Chicago Half Marathon and raising funds for MSC, I have the opportunity to honor those who so graciously honored our Lord and to help reach out to others in need. I'll do my best to train hard so that I may 'run, and not be weary...walk, and not faint'!

Mitch's Story

For 23 years our son Mitch etched memories into the hearts of everyone he met. He was as real as they come. What he meant to us and to so many others now belongs to the legacy we will cherish forever.

At Mitch's going-home service Pastor James MacDonald used one word that best described Mitch: "Maximum." Read more >>

For you are my rock and my fortress; and for your name's sake you lead me and guide me.
