He
needs a haircut. Really. I’ll take a book and go along for the
ride. We measured my leg for a
compression legging that will, hopefully reduce the water retention, the edema,
in my right thigh. It’s expensive, but
it will be worth it in the end. I found
out what I need to know to take a computer written ditty to FedEX too. We have progress on all fronts here.
The
biggie that impacts George today is a 5K Run/Walk called “Finish Chelsea’s Run.” The thousands of participants will be running
right by where G volunteers on Saturday afternoons. Here’s a map link to the course. The Automotive Museum is
on the West side of the Pan American Plaza. The Chelsea's Light Foundation page tells us that Chelsea King was an
avid cross country runner, a gifted student and musician, a loving daughter and
sister, at 17 Chelsea was well on her way to realizing her dreams. Pursuing one
of her passions, Chelsea went on a training run after school on the trails at
Lake Hodges not far from her Poway, California home on February 25, 2010.
It
took authorities five days to find her body.
John Gardener was a sex offender that had been released early. He killed Amber Dubois in 2009 then Chelsea
King in 2010. Today thousands of participants
run in hopes their footprints will help change the way we treat sexual predators
in any community.
Does
it matter if George can get to the museum?
I don’t think so.
Thanks for sharing the story behind the run. Always great when people support a cause.
ReplyDeleteI hope the run was successful. It's a good way to do something positive regarding a tragedy.
ReplyDeleteKudos to G. on being the sole subrogation person. As I have told you before, I loved subrogation when I was an insurance adjuster.
Loved that ornate mirror you photographed the other day too.
The guy in the lead is macho. He doesn't need a helmet.
ReplyDeleteI remember those murders. Why I have no sympathy for early release done to save a few dollars.
ReplyDeleteHope the compression bandage works.
It is always about the money. Even this conflagrated daylight savings time is about the money! Can you tell I want myhour back?
ReplyDeleteSad to read about that sex predator. Good that there is a race like this one.
ReplyDeleteIt's good that Chelsea is being remembered five years on.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! That's just horrible! They let him out early?
ReplyDeleteArt and Tif used to run in the Race Against Hate Run for Ricky Brydsong who was killed by a white supremacist while he was walking with his children in Illinois.
I hope the runs keep focusing on the need for change.
