Mission Moment and Kickoff

Hello Runners and Walkers:

What a busy week, but first I wanted to let you know of an opportunity to learn more about how LLS advocates for blood cancer patients:

There are two opportunities to get together tomorrow (February 2):

1. Group Training at 7:45 at Creve Coeur Park. See Coach Jeffrey’s email from Wednesday.
2. Our second kickoff, particularly for those who joined the team after December 1. That will be held at 10 am tomorrow at The Heights, 8001 Dale Drive, Richmond Heights. You all are welcome to come. We’ll be joined by members of the TriZou and Innsbrook triathlon teams. I know some of you are running some long miles tomorrow, but if you’re in a shorter phase, please stop by.

Recruiting: We have more than 40 runners and walkers doing either GO! St. Louis of the Taste of TNT. What if each of you brought one friend or relative to join the team. We could double our fun and double (or more) the impact we make in the battle against cancer. Let’s go for it as we would welcome more runners for the half marathon and 5K series, or triathletes.

Fundraising: Remember the big Blood Cancer Benefit Concert scheduled for February 23. As Andrea, Kristen, and Heather have said, $27 of each $40 ticket you sell will directly benefit your fundraising totals. The tickets are moving fast so contact your mentor to arrange to get yours to sell.

Hope to see many of you tomorrow at the Kickoff at The Heights.

GO TEAM!
