Race to Deliver 2010

by baad lamb

A morning walk in the park with coffee and a bagel unexpectedly turns into cheering on runners for the Race to Deliver, the annual fundraiser 4 mile run for God's Love We Deliver, the volunteer charity organization that provides meals to HIV/AIDS patients and others too sick to care for themselves.
Happily, the camera was at the ready...

As I arrived on the scene, between Strawberry Fields and Wagner Cove, the earliest group of finishers had just crossed the finish line about 200 yards from here. 
More video and photos after the jump...

Here's another view from the little hill that holds the Falconer statue.

Why can't I look this happy after 4 miles?
Remember this is all a fundraiser for a great cause and organization
Go, runners, go!
almost there!
in this race, everybody wins
