Bob and WEAVE with Faith in Love Bridal!

It is always an honor to be involved with one of the most important days in a girls life...her wedding!  When one of our great friends, Ashleigh, asked us to make her bridal wovens we could not have been more excited!  We chose to do a circle monogram in navy.  The result could not have been more perfect for this Kentucky wedding.

Girls on the Run....

'Tis the season of giving.  Here at Leap of Faith, we have been bitten bad with the "pay it forward" bug!  It is an itch that we will continue to scratch!  A few years ago a friend of ours started coaching for Girls on the Run which was started in Charlotte.  A bit about Girls on the Run....

We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.

Girls on the Run is a transformational learning program for 8 to 13 year-old girls. We teach life skills through dynamic, conversation-based lessons and running games. The program culminates with the girls being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5k running event. The goal of the program is to unleash confidence through accomplishment while establishing a lifetime appreciation of health and fitness.

We are so looking forward to coaching next year and being a running buddy this year to these Super Girls!  If you would like to get more involved please let us know by emailing us at customerservice@leapoffaithclothing.com

Of course this would not be complete without a Girls on the Run CAPEtee!  We are hoping that the council's loves these tees as much as we do and that we can offer them to all of the Girls next year!  

A Movember to Remember

During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in the US and around the world. With their Mo's, these men raise vital awareness and funds for men's health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer initiatives.



Once registered at www.movember.com, men start Movember 1st clean shaven. For the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men, known as Mo Bros, groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. Supported by the women in their lives, Mo Sistas, Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts.

Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November. Through their actions and words they raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.

At the end of the month, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas celebrate their gallantry and valor by either throwing their own Movember party or attending one of the infamous Gala Partés held around the world by Movember, for Movember.

"Lemmon" has never been so SWEET!

We had the joy and pleasure of being invited to go to the Frankie Lemmon School today.  

A bit about Frankie Lemmon....The school’s namesake, Frankie Lemmon, youngest son of Frank and Georgia Lemmon, was born with Down syndrome in the 1960’s. When Frankie became of age to begin kindergarten, there was no school in the area that would accept children with special education needs. To fill this void Frankie’s father, minister of the Hudson Memorial Presbyterian Church and the congregation united with the community to create the Hudson Memorial Kindergarten for Mentally Retarded Children. The school which began with three children in 1965 was re-named the Frankie Lemmon Memorial Preschool a few years later following Frankie’s death.

The school accepts 25 students between the ages of 3-6.  Their goal is to provide life changing education and support for the students to function better. They also want to prepare them to enter a normal school environment.  I can not put exactly into words how amazing this school and their program is.  They say pictures are worth a THOUSAND words and in this case these pics are worth a THOUSAND heart tugs.  We LOVE our little SUPERHEROES at Frankie Lemmon!
