My personal message:

10 years! Can you believe it?  Forrest Gump has been running the Tulsa Run and raising funds for Special Olympics Oklahoma for a decade. This year, Tulsa Run 2008, will be Forrest's last year to run the 9.3 miles. One more time Forrest will run with a suitcase and a box of chocolates on behalf of the athletes throughout Oklahoma, raising support for the year-round program. To mark this occasion, I’m asking you to provide your largest gift possible to Special Olympics Oklahoma.
