Nike Marathon Report: from Charlie Hays

 
 

The run was amazing and inspiring, touching and overwhelming- so many women, so many survivors. The weather was perfect. We had a great group, and we all finished the half marathon (for you non-runners, that's 13.1 miles). From left to right in the photo is Tom Shields (Louisa got injured, so Tom stepped in- and got me to the finish line!), Betsy Berman, myself, Eve Saltman, Andrea O'Riordan, and Cindy Rose Quackenbush. Tamara Latorre ran in honor of Bonnie as well, though we did not see her on race day, and Ingrid DeMoor ran the Napa Classic on Sunday for Bonnie.

It was awesome to have people in the crowd yelling "GO BONNIE!" when they spotted the "bumper stickers" on our bums. In all, the event raised over $14 million for cancer research-wow!

And one more time...GO BONNIE!!!
