Marathon / Mary Alice

[Themis]

My esteemed moderators, please zap this if you think appropriate; there will be no hard feelings!

I have been trying to live a more positive healthy life in the last year. I have quit smoking, and now my wife and I have signed up to run a half marathon to benefit Neurofibromatosis, which my daughter, Mary Alice, has. She is the namesake of my boat so this is somewhat Parker related!

Anyhow we have set up a website with some information about NF, and our charity run:

Sal:

Put me down for $20 ... and any CP member who meets that challenge will receive 2 free 'soon to be announced' Classic Parker exterior decals, in either the CC or cabin layout.

Keep me a list Sal !

 

[Themis]

Dale, John, Kevin, others.... you rock.

Anyone who contributes $25 or more, I will buy you a classic parker large coffee mug. Those are $13 bucks I think. I have three of them, and there is nothing like coffee out of those babies. If you contribute on the site please put CP somewhere in the note section! Farout, I am thinking you are Frank?

Guys,

we are up to $7,000 in the first week. Not too shabby eh? I am simply amazed at the generosity of the boating community, especially the guys here on CP and over on CW. All for a great cause, and for a guy's family they have never even met. There is no country like America.

Ran 4 miles yesterday. :shock:

 

[rangerdog]

Good luck to all of you. Wish I could do more. Your daughter is a real cutie!

 

[Themis]

Thank you John.

The membership here is just amazing.

Dale, Kevin, Brad, Cbigma and other esteemed operators, after I get my bearings, I will arrange a gift of some sort of CP gear from my wife, Caroline, and me to the great compassionate men here.

What would be the absolue best is CP burgees
