Twin Cities 3 Day For The Cure

Mary Jo and I volunteered again this year to be "Crew" members for the Susan G. Komen 3 Day For The Cure.  This years Twin Cities event was held this past weekend, August 19-21.  It involved 2100 walkers and 425 crew, covered 60 miles over three days and together we raised over $5 million to fight breast cancer.  Mary Jo and I along with two close friends, Randy and Nichole were assigned to "Route Hydration".  We as a team were responsible to supply and re-supply water and sports drinks to all the "pit stops" and "grab-n-go's" along the 60 mile, 3 day route to support the walkers.  My crew did a great job.  I am not going to lie, it was a lot of heavy lifting, starting very early in the morning and working late into the day but it was all worth it.  Mary Jo did a great job (so did Randy and Nichole) and was even selected to be among the 20 survivors in the closing ceremony to come down from the main stage to the center ring, a real honor. 

I was honored to be recognized during the Friday evening entertainment show at camp as the "Top Crew Fundraiser" for the second year in a row.  With your help we raised $6445 for the 2011 3 Day thanks to all of you how generously donated.
