I am running a little behind this year on getting the information out on this event, but it is still on. The rules are simple, and the same as last year. Here they are listed below for those of you who are new to BB&S.
1. Sign up by making a small donation at:
http://www.100friends.org/. This is a great non-profit run by one guy named Mark Gold. He lives out of a hotel room. He gives small amounts of money to people who are trying to make a living, but have a need. It might be 50 cents, or 15 dollars, but it will be enough to help them be self sufficient. Amy and I liked the charity and felt it was worthy. Please research it for yourself so you can feel good about your donation.

2. Run 2.5K on December 31st 2010, and then run the second 2.5K on January 1st 2011. Running can be substituted for walking, skiing, cycling, skipping, crawling, any non motorized human powered activity you choose. (2.5K is 1.55 miles)
3. Have fun, and feel good that we are helping someone we don't even know because that's what good people do.
4. All finishers will receive a finishers prize after providing photographic evidence of their accomplishment that will be posted on BB&S.
Amy and I will be running from 11:45 on the 31st to 12:15 on the 1st (approx). If you are in town and want to join us we'd love to run with you. If you are out of town and want to join us give us a call, we'll put you on speaker phone, and we can run together that way (520-977-7820 Rik, 520-977-7816 Amy).

I like the new organization you chose this year! Very, Very Cool.. Porter and I will be sure to both donate and participate. I think we will do a little bike ride on the 31st,my first time on an actual bike (not on a trainer) since the accident...
Thanks,
