Dear Friends,
I thought I would give you an update on Michael's Race For Heroes. First I would like to thank all of you for the most generous support for both of the charities Michael is running for in Philadelphia. The money will go a long way in helping some of the world's best citizens get back on their feet and bring awareness to their great sacrifices. Michael is trying to break 3 hours and 10 minutes and from the picture below, the hills will help him achieve just that. Once again a BIG THANK YOU and I'll keep you posted on the Race results.
