Team A: Where's Team C?



Party at the finish line. Waiting on Team C at the Dauphin Island Fort Gaines. Great burgers provided by the Mobile APSO chapter!!! Yum!!! Thank you so much!!! The terrific hospitality on Dauphin island equals the fabulous weather!!!

Team B: Finish Line



Thank you to all of our sponsors and donors. To the APSO chapters that volunteered their time and efforts to help us get to the end, we say a special thanks. Thank you to the Mobile volunteers for setting up the finish line cookout.

After a long two and a half days of running, we are glad to be done and going home. The runners are tired and the drivers are too. All in all, it is all worth it to help the American Cancer Society.

Team B: "Bo Knows"

This is the guest blogger T-Rock posting for the "B"est Team. We are having a good run thru Mobile this morning. I must admit I expended a little extra energy water fighting with the A team. Thanks guys I felt that around mile 2 of my run.

Just wanted to take a second to say thanks to all of our sponsors. I also wanted to take time to give a special shout out to Kevin "K-Fed" Manogue and a special thanks to all others that helped organize this event.

Last but not least I want all of you to know that you have been in the presence of a celebrity this weekend. Waymon "Bo Jackson" Tullis has graced you with his presence. I think a few people have confused this event with the "Bo Bikes Alabama" fund raiser taking place this weekend. Given mine and Bo's similar athletic skills..... I see how some one could confuse me for him. So if any one wants an autograph at the picnic find me and I will be glad to oblige. You can also get your picture made with Bo.

Team A: Beach Bound...




It's with great sadness that we pass the baton to Team B for the final time. We hate to miss out on running in the heat of the day through downtown Mobile, but somebody has to make it to Dauphin Island in time to catch a few rays!

We want to thank our family and friends who supported us and sponsored the Run for the Reason. We all have been touched by your encouragement and generosity.

Team A: A Beautiful Day!

Despite the lovely gift passed to us by Team C this morning before 6am :(, we are having a great day! The beautiful city of Mobile and our finish line are both in sight! Holley is bringing it home for us!
GO HOLLEY GO!!!

Team B: Breakfast at Barry

Thank you to Plant Barry's APSO chapter for a much needed breakfast this morning before our final leg. We are sore and tired but also excited to be finishing soon. We are somewhat surprised at how quickly this event has concluded. It seems like just a few hours ago we started and now we are about to finish.

As our time draws to a close we also want to remember those we are running to support. While we are tired and weary from a few days of running, we realize this is nothing in comparison to battling cancer. We are glad to do what we can as we remember friends and family who have been impacted by this disease.

Team C: Update

Good morning! While most people are cozied up, snug in their beds, we are barreling down the roads of McIntosh, AL. The cooler temperatures and flat terrain are a welcomed relief from the hot sun and hills from yesterday. Our drivers are working hard to keep us safe and entertained. DJ Delacio is keeping the beats coming in the RV, while stand up comedian Ramsey is keeping the runners in the lead car in stitches. We are sleep deprived and delirious, but we remain injury free, and for that we are thankful! We are already looking forward to checking into our hotel after passing off the baton to the team of tricksters, Team A. While we don't question their total commitment or superior performance, we certainly don't trust them. Watch out, Team A!
