Running against the wind


You know that feeling. You're out on a run and no matter which direction you seem to be going, you always seem to be running against wind. You push through, dig deep, maybe bear down a little hard to get to the finish. Well that's a lot like running a non profit organization. I keep hoping for a little more tail wind, to get me through the decline letters from potential grant funding. They say when one door closes another opens, so we'll all keep looking for that open door, right? If you see it let me know! After some discussions with numerous folks (even a race expert!!), RFYLC is looking into hosting a BIG event next summer!! Wait for it... a HALF MARATHON!!! If you thought I was nuts before, wait while I explain.

Rather than always asking to be a beneficiary to a race, we can do our own benefit race for RFYLC. A nice little 13.1, hopefully from Wellington to Fort Collins. A nice June Saturday, some cold beer at the end, a snazzy technical shirt, and a medal to sweeten the deal. Who's with me now?

So follow the planning, join in the planning, run the race, raise money for RFYLC by running. Be a part of the next big thing in Northern Colorado running events!! WE NEED YOU! Not that person or this person, YOU!

Fundraiser Update

The tally from our CB & Potts fundraiser night will bring in around $130 of much needed revenue. CB & Potts were very gracious hosts and the food is always delicious, just ask Nikki!
We continue to get great feedback on the article that featured us in the CSU Rocky Mountain Collegian on 8/31.

Don't forget that the Colorado Run is this Monday September 6th at the CSU oval. RFYLC will be there talking about childhood obesity and our ongoing plan to get kids in Northern Colorado up and active.
