On Friday afternoon we were putting up our, "Thank You Run" banners for
our upcoming Thanksgiving morning walk/run in 4S Ranch, when I got a
call from Theresa. I could tell she was pleased when she said, "HBO
Sports in New York just called and they are going to sponsor the run
again"!
As I congratulated her, my first thoughts were of her mom, who 
passed
away from ALS, (Lou Gehrig's disease) just a few years ago. Helen
would be so pleased to hear HBO Sports was stepping up, for the third
consecutive year. I can't say enough good things about HBO Sports as
well as our other many generous, walk/run sponsors.

I then thought about Ben Franklin and Karl Strauss. Both very smart
people and both beer drinkers. I am not sure if it is due to the beer,
but since announcing there will be a free Karl Strauss post race beer
garden following the 10K, 5K and kids walk/run, registrations have
jumped up dramatically. We will likely sell out the event
before Thanksgiving Day! Be sure to get you and/or your family
Registered today at (www.thankyourun.org).
It
makes us think about how many more victims of ALS and other community
programs we can help. I know I can't please everyone, but if only Ben
and Karl could come to the park on Thursday, November 22nd. (See 5K course video). I think that would make everyone
believers. Believers that families being together, physical fitness,
and a cold beer can be a good thing. It seems there are few non beer
drinkers out there who do not like the idea...
