Thank you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone that walked in honor of Liz on Sunday! We had a great turn out at Lake Calhoun, it was so wonderful to meet so many of you! The pictures on flickr are amazing too!!! So thank you, it was a perfect day.

Just a heads up, the pay pal account will still be up on Matt's website for another week or so. If you haven't had a chance to donate feel free.

One more thing, I had the opportunity to meet a handsome little man named Vico on Sunday. His mom passed away in January, 6-hours after Vico was born. He and his dad, Bob, live about 45 minutes outside of the cities. We are hoping to help them out in the near future. I will keep you updated with any plans as they arise.

Thanks again for all of the support you showed this weekend!

LGLM5K

Hello All,

I'm sure the majority of you have seen the post over on Matt's Blog about the Liz Goodman Logelin Memorial 5K Walk/Run. But I wanted to post over here so that we cover all our bases. We (creeps/broads) along with Matt and Liz's family have decided to do a very informal (for the first year) 5K walk/run to honor Liz on the weekend after her birthday. Here are the details:

At 1:00 pm this Sunday the 21st we invite you to walk/run where ever you are. You are encouraged to wear pink-Liz's favorite color or one of Matt's awesome t-shirts (see link on the right). We are also asking that people take pictures and post them on a flickr site that has been set up (info on that here). In addition, a Paypal account will be set up (details to follow shortly) and you can make an optional $7 donation that will go to both Matt/Madeline and other young widows/widowers in need.

Finally, if you are a MN resident and would like to join the Creeps/Broads/Logelins/Goodmans (including Matt and Madeline), we will be at Lake Calhoun at 1:00 pm beginning in the area with the volleyball courts on the west side of the lake near West 36th Street.

If you have any questions please comment here and we will do our best to get back to you as quickly as possible.

Thanks and happy walk/running,
Rachel
