I Need Your Help - PLEASE!!! - UPDATE

UPDATE - we have also decided to raise some money for Chester's care, which will no doubt be very expensive. If you want to help out specifically for that, please specify when you send money, and I'll get a separate visa gift card for that, or even just write a check.

UPDATE #2 - Tri On The Run has donated a pair of shoes for Danny - he gets to go pick out the pair of his choice...and the owners happen to be dog lovers...I think we've got something good over there!!

UPDATE #3 - WOW.  I am blown away by the generosity of friends and strangers alike.  If you don't run or aren't part of a running club, I suggest you join one ASAP!  Emails went out to two big running clubs in the area this morning and the response has been overwhelming.  All people needed to hear was "fellow runner in need" and they were there to help in a heartbeat!  In addition to the shoes from Tri On The Run, Luke's Locker is now rounding up clothes and gear for Danny, for free, and Kenyan Way has given him a free training season whenever he's ready to join.  People have also said they have everything from a frigerator to a queen size bed to a couch to towels and sheets to give to him.  Now I guess he just needs a place to put all the new loot!

Ironman in verse

This is what I wrote and secretly put under everyone's doors tonight: The big day is almost here! Long it will be, but have no fear. You have put in miles and miles And will finish amidst numerous smiles. The hard work is over and done. Now is the time for nothing but fun. May your spirits be high throughout the day, And may nothing come along to stand in your way. Ironman is as much about the journey as the destination, And you will be rewarded for all of your determination. Hand-in-hand we will all jump in, Eagerly treading water as we wait to begin. At 7am the cannon will blast But be sure not to go out too fast. The cool water will run over your face, As you are now committed to the race. The Rural Bridge will seem so far away But keep those negative thoughts at bay. Once you turn around and head west To the Mill Ave. Bridge you go, trying your best. 2.4 miles will be over before you know it, And you will start to realize your thoughts of Iron are truly legit. On to the bike, f...

Getting To Know You

Alright, time for a little "comment love" - a term used in the blogging world meaning, quite simply, "leave a comment!" I can see I have readers from all over the world (look at the little map a little way down on the right), obviously with the highest concentration being from this area, but I don't know who you are! (Most of you at least!). I'd love to know a little about who is reading my blog, what you like what you don't like, where you are from, etc. Anyone can comment at any time - you don't have to have a blogger or google profile. Just click on the "x comments" link below any post (x is the number of existing comments on any one post), then a box will pop up letting you type the comment. If you have a google/blogger profile you can use that, but if not, you can just click "anonymous", but be sure to sign your name or nickname or whatever with your comment. P.S. If you don't want to tell me much about yourself, or I al...
