Lauren and I will soon compete as part of a team in the third annual 100 on 100 relay race. The race takes place on August 18. As I've mentioned in earlier postings, the idea that I could actually be looking forward to running 16 miles in one day still blows me away, but somehow, I've really come to enjoy this event. The race ends up being a really cool team experience, which is kind of rare in a sport that is usually very focused on individual performance. Always a great day, and a chance to help out a great cause.
Here comes the shameless plea for financial support.... please don't leave the page, yet...
The race is set up by a good friend of ours and always supports a very worthwhile Vermont charity. This year, the charity will be the Boys and Girls Clubs of Vermont. The race organizers have put together a nice page detailing their mission and how we can help to support the goals of this great organization -- you can check it out here: Boys and Girls Club of Vermont
If you are willing and able to help with this great cause, Lauren and I would both be extremely grateful. Our race team (the Phat Angels) have set up a donations page at the following link: Phat Angels Fundraising Page The kids from the Boys and Girls Clubs will be out volunteering along the course on race day, we'll be running 2/6 of the 100 mile course... surely you can help us out with a small donation, right? :-)
Seriously, though, please only donate if you feel you can. I know everyone gets asked to help with lots of charities, and we all do what we can. If the time isn't right for you, please just think of us on August 18 and try to send some positive energy up to Route 100 in Vermont.
