Working for a Cause Worthy of the Patients We’re Fighting For!

The last several days here have not been very training friendly. We have had rain for the last 5 days, with little relief. Now I do not mind running in the rain if it is light, but these have been downpours. The types of days where a treadmill would have been a great thing to have around.  I am hoping tomorrow I can get out, I’m sure it will be a light day since I have not run since Friday. I have done some strength training over the weekend though, so maybe that will help the lay-off.

Enough about that! Let’s move in to our purpose for being here in the first place. The site has now been up and going four days and there have been quite a few first time visitors. A huge thank you to all that have shared the link with your contacts. In order for this to be successful, several things need to occur. First off and this is paramount, support. Support may come in many forms. Here are a few examples of how you can be a part and contribute without physically running:

• Creating & Suggesting Ideas
• Help research events in your area
• Contribute an article to this blog
• Organize a small group to volunteer at a local race event & wear our shirts, once we have them of course.

The possibilities are endless on the ways you can contribute. That is the beauty of this concept. Reaching out in a unique venue that brings together people of all backgrounds. To really get this group off and running, no pun intended, we need people to help come up with some of the basic ideas and help to refine and perfect the ones we already have. In order to properly delegate work to be done we need to define each members strengths and desires. This is the purpose of the interest form and also the Google group. The group will help us all to put our two cents in and perfect the stream of ideas that are flowing into our project. We can not do this alone, so please take a moment to at least join the group. Even if you cannot physically volunteer to run or go to events, you can contribute thoughts and ideas to discussion. Those are just as important, especially in the early stages of this project. We need designs for a logo, shirts to sport at events or even around town. We need color schemes and materials to help launch this project off the web and into the streets. There are many other basic framework ideas necessary to get this project off the ground floor. We want you to be a part of helping to create that. If you have any questions at all do not hesitate to email them to me, FA_Father@live.com I am looking forward to seeing you all in our discussion groups.
