Everybody's favorite King-sized marathoner here ;-) .

I want to thank you all again for your donations, kind words and support over the past 6 months. It's been a long training season and I think I'm ready for the big day which is a week from today. Through all your generous donations I have raised over $6,200 for Leukemia & Lymphoma research!!! I have also decided to stay on and volunteer some more of my time with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society through the Team-In-Training program. I will be a mentor/coach for the next season and will be running in the San Diego marathon June 4/06. I will continue to raise funds for Leukemia but I will be focusing more on holding some fund-raising events like Pub-Nights, Raffles and possibly a Charity Golf Tournament or a Banquet/Auction type of thing. I won't be harassing you for donations but if it is something that you want to do then please contact me - we have until June 2006.

As for this race, if anyone is interested you can track my progress on race day at www.honolulumarathon.org I am #9535.

This trek has taken me a long way from where I was 6 months ago in more ways than just the physical dimension. I'm sure I couldn't have gotten here without all of your help so thank you all once again from the bottom of my heart (and my sore feet.)
