"Walk With Me"

One week from tomorrow is the second annual Alliance Against Cancer 5K.  For those of you that don't remember from last year, this road race was created by David and Cheryl's former running club, the Athletic Alliance, in honor of David's love of running and ongoing battle.  This year's event will include a 5K run and walk, as well as a kids race.  I will be running the 5K and Elizabeth is planning to run the kids race, while Emily and Lee plan to be among the many spectators.  We invite you to join us - running, walking, kids race, and/or cheering - on September 12th at 9 a.m. at Milly's Tavern in Manchester, New Hampshire.  
This year, race organizers have challenged all participants to raise money to benefit the Norris Cotton Cancer Center at CMC in Manchester - inviting friends, famiy and co-workers to "walk with me" by donating to this great cause.  We are up to the challenge.  We will be collecting checks (made out to the Norris Cotton Cancer Center) right up through race start time - no amount is too big or too small. Thanks in advance to everyone that has already donated, to those of you that will donate in the next week and to all of our friends and family who will be joining us on the 12th!
