John Pavlick Miles for Meso 8K and Family Fun Run




From: Karen Spracher [mailto:kac3k3j3@yahoo.com]
   
Joe -- this is Karen -- Could you PLEASE customize/edit the message below and send it out to the Class of 70 folks you have email for?   I would love to have an annual class team running -- Olga would be so jazzed!  This is what I am  sending out to friends, family, anyone I have email addresses for!...  It would be awesome to have a class presence and be able to track it.  Are there any serious runners willing to pull a team together (we have a golf group after all)?  I promise (well, actually not me, it was another humble guy) whatever you can do to help will be paid back 10-fold when you get to heaven.  Thanks so much, you don't even have to use this message, do whatever you think will work (e.g., OPORD, silver bullets, IOUs).  

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Bill and I hope you can join us on the 29th for the Miles for Meso (Mesothelioma) race at Burke Lake Park.  Bill will be running, I will be walking, and we hope many of you will be there alongside us supporting the effort.  Please visit the website to learn more.  John Pavlick, Bill's West Point roommate and our beloved friend, was taken from his loved ones way too soon by this horrible disease.  Olga and his children are dedicated to not only raising awareness, but doing all they can to help others affected by the disease.  We want to support their effort.

Look and learn (and register!) at the website http://www.johnpavlickfightmeso.com/

PAY IT FORWARD -- pass this on to whomever you can -- runners, walkers, family trotters, philanthropists, cancer survivors, friends, relatives, co-workers -- anyone you think may be inspired to participate in the event and/or donate to the cause.  Post the flier at work, church, your grocery store, anywhere you think it will help.  If you know people or companies that would like to sponsor, contact Olga ASAP (she is copied in).

God bless you friends.  We have so much to be grateful for.  Please do what you can to support the Meso Race for the Cure.

Thank you,

Bill and Karen Spracher

PS--email back if you are coming so we will know to look for you!!!

Whit and I have completed our hike on the Colorado Trail.  Whit had to drop out due to high altitude pulmonary edema symptoms at mile 358.  I finished the hike on the 26th of July with 468 miles.......one segment was impassable to our llamas.
 
Attached are a few photos from the trip for posting in appropriate Class information sites.  One is me at the end of the Trail, one is Whit on top of 14,000 foot San Luis Peak, and the last is Whit fording Cochetopa Creek with Howell and Sneffels, our two llamas.
