THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY AUTISM FUND-RAISING PAGE.

JACK'S RUN 2010 WAS A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS, ATTRACTING 376 RUNNERS & WALKERS. RUNNING CONDITIONS WERE IDEAL WITH SOME CLOUD COVER AND THE THERMOMETER IN THE LOW 70S.

THE FIRST RUNNER TO CROSS THE FINISH LINE WAS  KIERNAN GIBBONS OF NORTHPORT IN 17:36.

THE TOP WOMAN WAS SHARI KLARFELD OF PLAINVIEW IN 20:27--WHICH WAS A COURSE RECORD !

PORT WASHINGTON TURNED OUT IN DROVES AS PORT STARS PHIL RYBECKY & ANDRE BERTOLOTTI PACED THEIR AGE GROUP,AND THE FAMOUS SINGER SHERRI SUZZAN RAN WELL. ALSO,  PORT TEACHERS ANDREA SCHIECK; KAREN BASKIN AND REGINA MCCLEAN WERE BIG WINNERS.

AND JACK, THE HANDSOME REDHEAD AFTER WHOM THIS RACE IS NAMED, COMPLETED 1 LOOP OF THE RACE WITH EASE !

THE JERICHO COMMUNITY ALSO CAME UP BIG WITH MAJOR PARTICIPATION AND FUND-RAISING THANKS TO NANCY MARK-STEINER.
