We had a great start to 2015! Thank you to everyone for your support and participation in our micro marathon running party. You are awesome!
With your help, we were able to donate 6 ipad mini2s (plus extras) to Clackamas County Foster Care. These will be used for education and entertainment during the kids transition times.
Here’s to your continued running success!
