Fundraising Party!: Well, I am now officially getting behind in my blogging, so will do a few posts this week. We had a very nice fundraising party, thanks to everyone who pitched in and attended on March 29th!

We raised around $2,400 dollars between the two of us, and have now officially met our fundraising goals to raise $6,000 dollars each. The actual goal of our Team is 1 million dollars, and we are probably about 200,000 short, but hope that additional fundraising efforts will help to bridge the gap!:)

Bob Roppolo was very generous to attend our next to last training session and share a memory of John and to make a dedication in front of our Team. We are very inspired to run this race in John's memory and will do our best next Monday!

Thanks again to everyone who contributed and attended our fundraiser. I would especially like to thank a few people:

• the artists who donated works for our silent auction, Yuko Adachi, Bert Antonio, and Peter Arvidson.
• Jon Fukuda and Luc Kress for their help with the technical stuff and to Luc for the door prize!
• Steve Short of Central Reservations of New England- The hotel stays were a big draw and thanks so much for helping us to acquire them!
