Year 10 is in the books. And, thanks to your generosity, we raised over $900 this year. I can't wait to send it to Living Hope.
Today was the the ALS Walk/Run. What a great day. Around $35,000 was raised. Polaris will match a big chunk of that. Everything was great except my time...

Next up, the Yellow Rose. I'll be working hard to improve my time the next few weeks.
I just learned about a study from a couple years ago that surprised and encouraged me. The conclusion of the study: active middle aged men who are able to do 40 or more push ups significantly lower their risk of cardio-vascular disease.
The key take-away from the study of 1,104 participants over a 10 year period: 37 CVD-related outcomes were reported. All but one occurred in men who completed 40 or fewer pushups during the baseline exam. The researchers calculated that men able to do more than 40 push-ups had a 96% reduced risk of CVD events compared with those who were able to do less than 10 push-ups.
