Our personal message:

A couple friends and I decided to run the Pensacola Marathon and help others at the same time. Be someone that makes a difference and please give to those that need your help, hooyah!

5 Jan - In keeping with our training we completed the Pensacola Beach Half-Marathon today. I wanted to thank again those that have made a donation.

16 Jan - We're a month out from the big day and are short of our goal. All money raised benifits our SOF teammates children.  Please show your support for them by making a donation. A big thank you to those that have given.

31 Jan - Thanks to Mike McReynolds (http://www.sgtmacsbar.com/) for providing the "Some Gave All" video.

18 Feb - Now that we have run the race, we thought we'd send an update on our fundraising effort for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.

We managed to reach our goal and raise $10,000.00 for SOWF, thanks to 
you, our supporters. This was a "team effort" and words can not express
our appreciation.

All runners gave it their best in support of this cause, and you, the
supporters, motivated us.

Thank you so very much for making the difference!

Robert and training buddies ($10,000.00)
