Subject: RE: Angels Race VA : Official ThreadGood seeing you all today. You couldn't have asked for better weather. Perfect condions. Still waiting on Set Up to post times. The computer was down everytime I went over to look after the race.
Today's race was special for me. Fours years ago on this day my daughter was diagnosed with Type I diabetes. At this time in 2009, we were in an ambulance riding to the ICU at UVA Medical Center.
In 2013, We are all a lot healthier. We had to change our diet and lifestyle. I started running and biking to both get healthier and to deal with the stress.
Like the Groover family did. We are turning something bad in our lives into something good. We are helping to organize a 10k race in Lynchburg on May 27th. Proceeds from the race will be donated to the JDRF. Please help me spread the word about this race. We are looking for a great turn out.
If you know of any families dealing with T1D, we have also started a support group in Lynchburg. Please visit WWW.T1DE.ORG for more info.

Hope to see everyone back next year.
Next event, Storming of Thunder Ridge. Mike has already agreed to use a bungee cord to pull me up the first 12.5 miles of the climb.
