Ok.... so it POURED Saturday morning, but that didn't rain on our parade... We were expected about 150 participants, but the rain scared them away. We had 60 participants total and raised around $2,100 for the foundation, so we were pretty pleased with that! The rain and mud made for a fun time for the runners, but there were a couple of people who took a spill (I won't mmention any names). The first 3 male finishers were Josh Criswell, Evan Lee ( a current Lycoming basketball player!), and Bradley Boyer. The top three women finishers were Christa Dieffenderfer, Tressa Porchet, and Tara Michaels. I will post pictures of the event soon!
On Sunday, I went and spoke to a youth group in McClure, Pa. The youtyh group was the one who raised the money for the chemo ducks. It was an amazing expereince to talk to these youth about Derrick, and share with them the message he hoped one day to share with young people. This group is such a wonderful group of young people, and I am honored ot have met them. Check out the website djdfighton.org for pictures from the talk.
On Saturday, I collected a ton of blankets from Cherie Chism and her friends for the Camp Dost program and the pediatric transplant patients at Geisinger. Thanks again Cherie!
