My wife, my kids and I (and the dog) participated in the first "Run Vera Run" fundraising 5K run (or in my family's case, walk) at Seward Park on Sunday.
The weather was beautiful and the view was awesome, Seward Park and the lake and mountain views this time of year are wonderful. We helped raise over $30,000 for a good cause, and with the drop-off in corporate funding this year the Vera Project needs it pretty badly.
There were some nice people giving free massages and selling Vera and band merchandise, and they gave away fresh fruit, trail mix and water bottles. We got several Run Vera Run shirts for raising over $100 and over $150 dollars, and I managed to get buy my favorite Vera t-shirt with the silver robot on it, and we even got a free CD with local bands on it, so that was cool too.
The Maldives played in the park after the Run/Walk. The crowd was pretty quiet but the band put on a good show, very rootsy/folksy yet it rocked out as well.
We didn't take the camera so we only got a few cell phone shots. Maybe next year we'll do better at getting pictures...
