A Call for Sponsors
Hey guys..some of you may know that I am training for the Turkey Trot, a 10K run that will take place right before the Thanksgiving Day Parade in Detroit. I just ran the 5K part of the Detroit Marathon, so now it’s time for the ole 10K’er. There will be around 12 of us running for the Rock CF Foundation and wearing specially made Rock CF shirts for the race. I will also be running for the Boomer Esiason Foundation and will be wearing one of their runner jerseys with his team Boomer logo on the front and will hopefully my Rock CF stuff on the back.
Here’s the deal: Jerry, who is 50 with CF, works for Boomer Esiason’s Foundation (Boomer’s kid has Cystic FIbrosis too). Jerry, Boomer and I agree that exercise is a main ingredient in the CF cocktail that helps keep us healthy. Jerry started the Exercise for Life scholarship program that will award scholarships for people with CF who participate in sports and exercise to go to college. So people with or without CF can run races and what not, raise money, then it is donated to Team Boomer so CF kids can go to college. Sound cool? It does to me. So if you want to sponsor me for my 10K let me know. Anything from $5-$50 will work..but remember my big Just Let Me Breathe benefit is coming in February, so keep that in mind when you are spending your CF dollars.
Email me for my mailing adress if you want to send cash or checks. You can also drop cash off at any Pure Detroit store or at any Hellen or South Normal (to my bro Jay) shows that will happen before Nov 23.
Thanks!
