Wow! It's been awhile since we updated everyone so here goes. A big round of applause to all the volunteers that helped make our 1st two Northern Colorado running events such a huge success. Horsetooth Half Marathon was tremendous for exposure to the running community, and the amount of traffic at the Colorado Marathon expo truly let all of us at RFYLC that we are on the right track. The volunteers that were at the aid station were " some of the best" according to runners in the race and the race director himself! A tremendous effort was given by Nikki, Janna and Clarence to raise funds and awareness through their back to back 1/2 marathons in less than 3 weeks. You guys are fantastic.
Our first committee meeting brought a slew of fresh ideas and some great volunteers to RFYLC. They are going to help us make 2010 a great first year.
Spencer, Betsy and myself, did a little Zumba at the local community center and then registered 39 kids for the program. Once the kids have their shoes and start running we will need to change our goal from fifty pair distributed in our first year to .....the sky is the limit. Our grant proposal is under review as I write and hopefully will give us some much needed operating funds.
We received another large request for shoes from the SAVA (Sexual Abuse Victims Advocacy) Center for their "Supergirls" program. This is a program for girls ages 6-11 to get active and feel empowered regarding their bodies. A great cause t be involved with. One special note for all my followers, RFYLC and I owe the world to Nikki, without her tireless effort we wouldn't be where we are today. She is RFYLC. Me I'm just a guy with an idea and super duper wife!
