 Strides for Life
Dear "Strides for Life" Participant:
WELCOME ABOARD. We are delighted to have you as a part of the annual "Strides for Life"25, 50, 75, or, 100 mile run. 
This is a very gratifying, challenging and exciting event. We all have our own personal reasons for participating. By participating we are helping the American Cancer Society in its mission of eliminating cancer as a major health problem.

Excited! We are. The "Strides for Life" committee is hard at work making sure that every detail is just right for your arrival. We are looking forward to seeing you, some for the first time, and others to renew old friendships. Any past participant will tell you it is the people, the camaraderie and the sense of family that makes this event special.

How is your training going? We hope all is well, and that you are on schedule. All of your hard work now will pay off in June. Remember to increase your mileage by no more than 10% per week and keep those muscles supple-stay strrrretched out.

If you have any questions about your training contact Gale Fischer at 269-965-0320 or gdfischer@yahoo.com

 
Deborah Anne Treamer  will be calling each runner the week before the run to answer any questions and to confirm the day or days and night or nights you plan on being with us. If you have any questions you can call Deborah Anne or her.
