Life Back On Track

Luke Watson's and Ryan Foster's idea of a  10 Man/1,000 Mile Relay is coming in August.  The event will benefit the Life Back on Track Scholarship which will be given to a high school athlete who has suffered an injury or illness, allowing them to pursue their academic goals in college.  All in the name of Kevin Dare, who suffered his fatal injury 10 years ago already.

The relay will begin at the pole vault pit at the Minnesota Indoor Track and wind its way back to Kevin's home and Penn State's Campus.  The runners hope to complete the event in less than 99 hours and 3 minutes, thus achieving the world record.

I have sent a personal and humble donation to the Scholarship Drive in the name of our entire group and I urge each of you to check it out and hopefully support them also.  I offered some advice also, but my usual "Start slow and taper off"  marathon advice won't get the job done!  They need to average less than 6 minutes/mile for the record.  I just wish it was 1977 again, as I would have helped them out back then.
