Roy's Run 2012

Roy’s Ridiculous River Run

OK, so this trombone player named Roy Wiegand who likes to run gets this idea to run for 24 hours and raise money for charity.  Everybody thinks he's crazy, but he does it anyway, because he likes to run.

George and I took the midnight shift to support him.  George rode his bicycle along side him and kept him company while I drove the support vehicle.

KTLA even came out to interview him at 1:00 AM and he made the morning news!

Roy ran 110 mile in 24 hours and finished at the Pasadena Rose Bowl. 

We raised over $5000 for Lifewater International!

Lifewater drills wells for folks who have no access to clean water in some of the poorest places on earth. Makes us realize just how blessed we are...
