| A letter from a parent... 10-24-03 Dear Coach Smith, My family and I would like to thank you and your team for a very well organized and fun Witch's Hat Run. I was especially impressed with the way you teamed up the children with your high school runners. That was a great idea, and made the day extra special for my son William. He was teamed up with Steve, a very nice young man who William quickly bonded to. In fact, he decided to root for Steve in the 5K instead of me. William has been doing fun runs for the last two summers. We bought a jogger for him to ride in for the first one, but by the second race he wanted to run the whole race, and he did--One mile. He had just turned 4. After checking with our Pediatrician, who said it was OK, we have been looking for races for our family to attend. What a great way to spend a morning; what a great community of people who attend these events, and what a great influence for my son. Having your team of "real runners" involved is a great idea, and a great influence on the children. I would think that your runners get a lot out of it as well. Thank you for a great day. Sincerely, Matt, Teresa, and William Please relay these pictures to Steve, and give him our thanks as well. |
