88 mile Skate

This is an 88 in line skate race that goes from Atlanta to Athens on regular roads. It is grueling but far more important is the money we raise for the Leukemia and lymphoma society.

Bruce (my hero) started Team in Training (TNT) and that program had raised over 1.3 billion- yes 1.3 billion dollars for research and development for LLS.  Our little skate team raised about 1 million over 8 years thanks to all of us including Bruce’s significant contributions.

His team above. Members over the 8 years were:  Bruce, Bob T., Arden T., Bill K, Joel S., Missy D. , Bill, Rita, Will Andrews, Guy W., Alex, John B..  Dude we kicked some ass on the course- yes we did and I am proud of that. We would form pace lines (like that pictured below) and go up to 40 MPH downhill- wow that could be dangerous as I lost a thumb in an accident and Bruce broke his shoulder.
