On May 9, 2010, in four hours, Mike Fritz, Jeremy Lewis, Bart Brown, Ryan Rowlands and Steve Adams-Smith ran a relay for the Roma in the Skopje Marathon. Steve, visiting from Bulgaria, stepped in for Kim Brown and Ryan and Bart covered Susan's 7 km because of a last minute bout of the flu! All five guys made really good time and everyone ran the final 250 meters smiling! A huge heartfelt "thank you" to the runners! They did fantastic! I was so proud there were tears in my eyes! Almost as good as running it myself! Well, almost! If it wasn't for them, this wouldn't have happened!
An aside: Yesterday, as I was headed to a brief meeting at Sumnal I passed a boy, 8 years old maybe, with a backpack on his back, walking with purpose out of Sumnal. After the meeting, I spied him diligently working on his homework at a plastic table outside his hut. That, my friends, is what this was all about. Thank you!
