Avera Race Was Great!

Despite the cool and wet weather (not my fault, by the way) the 20th Avera Race Against Breast Cancer was a huge success! Over 4,500 people registered and I would say most of them were there. The race raised right around $280,000! Someone from Avera told me that this was the top one-day fund raiser in the history of Sioux Falls.

I finished the race in the middle of the pack, and that's right where I expected to be...325th out of 786 folks who ran the 5K race.

Thanks so much for those of you who sponsored me and helped me and my team in the fight against breast cancer!

Oh, the people in the picture I've posted are, L to R....
Doug Parsons, Ryan Brothers, me, my beautiful wife Kristie (a one-year breast cancer survivor) and my daughter Samantha. In front is Doug's dog Jet.
