Subject: Virtual 5K in honor of Christine (Lucy)

The LINK to the 5K run in honor of Christine Rusher. The run will be Friday, July 18th at 7pm near Tampa, FL. For those of you who knew Christine or would like to be a part of this run to honor her, whether or not you can attend, please sign up for the race. All the proceeds will be going to her family.

For those of us that cannot be there with the family that evening I would like to suggest that at 7 pm (est) we run a 5k wherever we maybe.

The hope is that this huge and wonderful BT family will be out in force, showing our love and support for Christine, her family and each other.

Life is so short and precious, you never know when it might be taken from you. God bless you, Christine. May He be with your family and friends at this time of need. We will always remember you, your contagious sense of humor and your fighting spirit.

Dumpy and I will be running.

Where can we add the race to our logs? I thought there was a link thru BT? I can't find it.

Thanks. Awesome idea.

Thanks for putting this up, Trix. Let's put a silver lining on this cloud and run in honor of Christine while raising some money for her family in their time of tragedy.

I was lucky to meet Christine at the VA double IM last fall. What a wonderful person

We will be running the 5k in Lake Placid around 7PM (if we get there in time) if anyone wants to join us.

Shannon and I will run together either earlier in the day on Friday or sometime Saturday (we will be in a car at 7 PM on Friday). I plan on running in silence - no I Pod and no conversation - just introspective time remembering how fragile life can be.

Pulled from another Christine thread....

Hello everyone,

I am the Race Director of the Hit the Trails classic 5k race series and President of the FishHawk Road Runners the group that organizes the races. Do not be concerned of the headcount I will adjust for out of state entrants.

I own the local running shop Hit the Trails that Christine frequented. Christine as been a friend of mine for a couple of years and a club member. She was always wearing a smile and I will miss her. Understand that I will do everything in my power to get her family the largest proceeds from this race.

I am overwhelmed by the support in the form of registrations for our race. I have had over 50 people signed up last night on active. You people are amazing! She would be so touched. Thank you and God Bless.
