Team Clementine Supports LiveSTRONG Foundation

As noted in previous posts, Team Clementine is a big supporter of the LiveSTRONG foundation (www.livestrong.org) and their mission to raise awareness and fight cancer. We spend countless hours training and preparing for races and we strongly believe in not wasting that time just to race for nothing. This is why we are currently training for one of the most grueling 197 mile relay races in America. We are running the Hood to Coast relay race (http://www.hoodtocoast.com) in order to raise awareness and funds for the LiveSTRONG foundation. Out of the 24 member national team, 6 of those members belong to Team Clementine. Mark Woamck, Bryan Meurer, Jeff Rooks, Wayne Pryor, Brett Kennedy, and Jonathan Minton will each be raising a minimum of $1,500 for the foundation. All of us have been touched by cancer and if you would like to help support the Lance Armstrong Foundation and help these team Clementine members exceed the minimum fundraising goal for the foundation, please visit the team page where you can select any of these six members, as well as any of the other 18 members, to donate too. https://www.kintera.org/faf/search/searchTeamPart.asp?ievent=286710&lis=1&kntae286710=7230E92431724FD6A6B5B1202BF67602&supId=0&team=3383485&cj=Y

The race will take place Oregon over a two day period in late August (yeah, we’ll be up running all night long with no sleep for a few days and living out of vans). 12,000 runners will be participating. Last year, team Clementine member Jonathan Minton ran on the inaugural LiveSTRONG team and raised in excess of $3,000 for the foundation. Please help all six of this year’s Team Clementine runners do the same. Please help us support the LiveSTRONG foundation’s mission. Please help us fight cancer!

Unite and Fight! LiveSTRONG!
