To all of the runners, the walkers, the volunteers, the sponsors, everyone associated with the charity and anyone else that was at the 1st Annual Toasted Owl Gives A Hoot 5k--my partner for the day and I want to say "Thanks Sooooo much for just being there". It truly is all of you that turned a day into a story to remember.

I've told people all over the country that you should come to these races looking for your story for the day. I hope I was a part of your story on October 31st. You all were definitely the story I found that day.

Please feel free to email anything you might like to say. I hope you all had a great run and a great day while helping others.

I can honestly say I went home that night with all of you warmly tucked away in my heart.

SEE YOU ALL AND MANY MORE NEXT YEAR
