The 9/8 Peggy's Posse Event is a success!

THANK YOU and kudos to all of the EMBRACE LIFE 5K event participants!

Over 30 members of Peggy’s Posse were able to attend on Sunday! SUCCESS despite such short lead time!!

Each Posse member wore a commemorative 'Peggy's Posse' pin in the front (thanks to Keith's friend who made these for us!) plus a badge on our backs bearing Peggy's name and any other loved ones who were also being celebrated. 

It's no surprise...a fabulous time was had by all! How could it not be with such a fabulous group, fabulous weather plus the bonus of group calorie burn)?!? 

And, we all felt Peggy's spirit with us throughout the entire 3.1 mile course (cheering everyone on to keep going, just like she used to while teaching aerobics)!

THANK YOU again.

Update #3 on 9/8 Peggy's Posse Event

THANK YOU to everyone who responded in some way to let us know that scheduling a ‘Peggy’s Posse’ event was a good idea.  We felt this venue provided an easy opportunity to get together for who was available.  As you can imagine, no date/location/event would be a match for everyone, so this was just an initial step.  This time we are simply meeting to walk (or run for some) in memory of Peggy and we expect we will be talking/reminiscing while we walk.  Who knows what the future will bring!

While some ‘Posse’ members have had a change in plans and now cannot participate, other ‘Posse’ members have decided to join this event.  We have about 35 people participating.

Those of you who registered on-line for the EMBRACE LIFE run/walk should have received an email from smmlnews@trinity-health.org with additional race day details.  We were excited to learn that there will be beads and back bibs as recognition for survivors and caregivers.

Reminders:

• See the Update #2 blog for details on meeting time/location, green t-shirts, and “Peggy’s Posse / KMA” buttons.
• It’s not too late to participate!  Paper registration forms and payments will still be accepted Friday, Sept. 6 at Packet Pickup and on Race Day, Sept. 8, 7-8:30 a.m. The registration fee is $30 and can be paid for with cash or check.

 See you Sunday!  We expect Peggy to be cheering us on in spirit.
