This is the Gold I’m talking
about, not as in a gold medal, nope as in GOLD for Childhood Cancer Awareness! Although
September is about raising awareness for Childhood Cancer, there are players in
the game that run all year round for children with cancer in their hearts,
mind and in every mile they run. I consider
myself lucky to be able to share my office with someone that truly does just
that.

Okay, maybe I’m one of the ones calling
him crazy half the time :)
As the month of September got
closer, he set off to take crazy to the next level and will be running for 24hrs
straight – yes 24hrs straight!!
On
September 12th starting off at the Texas Children’s hospital @ 5:00pm, Jim will
run through the Medical Center to Rice University where he will running most of
the night around the three mile loop and then heading to Memorial Park Saturday
and running the loop and surrouding areas till 3:00pm when he will make his way back to TCH . He is doing it in conjunction
with the Snowdrop Foundation’s Wisconsin chapter’s “Courage Over Cancer” event.
And of course because he is a tad bit crazy for all the right reasons :)
For this run there is no bib number to wear –
just a small reminder as to why he will be running…
I am planning to be out there and
join him when he gets to Memorial Park Saturday morning, will you come out and
show your support? You can join us for an easy pace run or you can just be
there to encourage him to keep going! Either way I know he would greatly
appreciate it!
