What a Day!
Wow, what a great day for the 2010 NSMC Cancer WALK/Run. We had lots and lots of people representing Team Hungry For Life, and walking or running in memory of D. Rich and all those who have fought and are fighting against cancer.
It was a hot day for sure but it was beautiful, with sunny blue skies and a light breeze along the shore. Salem is the place to be on Father's Day! We collectively raised close to $10K for the medical center when all was said and done. I want to give an extra special shout-out to Thomas Massie, who raised over $5,000 single-handedly. Way to go, Thomas!
I am truly filled with so much warmth and appreciation for those who have supported and loved my family over the last few years. It has been a difficult time~ losing someone who is so, so special and who's truly larger than life. But as a friend said today, "It just goes to show how Dennis keeps bringing family and friends together even after he's gone." He's so right. This is everything Dennis was about.
It feels so good to do something like this, to join together for a day and have a memorable time with family and friends. It reminds me that people are good...and in this crazy world (that's just not fair and doesn't make sense at times) at least there are good people out there.

Thank you to everyone who donated, raised money, showed up, helped to organize, coordinate, and worked extra hard to make today extra special. You are all good people, who mean so much to me and the entire Rich family. Go Team Hungry For Life!
