| Mission moment |
On Saturday the American Liver Foundation and Children’s Hospital joined forces to organize a 16-mile “Love Your Liver” run on the Boston Marathon course. We met at the Riverside T station, dropped off our bags and got on a bus to Natick Common. Then it was up to us to get ourselves to Boylston Street. There were about 150 Liver team members out on the course, along with a big group from Children’s and many many others.
It was a great run, thanks to an inspiring mission moment on the bus, the support of the volunteers at the five water stops we had along the way, Coach Jorge driving by with music blasting, a post-run shower at Boston Sports Club, and a post-run beer and $1 egg sandwich at McGreevy’s. Bob Rice, this run was for you!
In other news, the UNC-Duke game last Wednesday was cancelled due to the snowstorm. I didn’t find out until just *after* we finished packaging individual Valentine treat bags with almost 200 homemade cookies and candy. It was a bummer to not be able to carry out our fundraiser, but an acceptable Plan B involved checking out Michael Scelfo’s new digs (Alden & Harlow). Corn pancakes…’nuff said. And we donated the cookies to our team after the run on Saturday.
