Three things Thursday … time to count to three and go to work.
1. Well, it’s late November, which means we’re in full swing for the Operation Jack Marathon. If you’re planning on running the race in California on December 26, CLICK HERE to register! I’m not the one handling registration this year, so you can’t sweet-talk me and tell me how nice my hair is to get me to let you in like the past couple of years. So do it. Now. 🙂

Also, check out our Satellite Runs in Oregon, Maine and Kansas City.
OREGON: A friend of mine, Steve Walters, is putting on a race in the Portland, Oregon area on December 22. It’s the third year he’s done this — it’s a low-key, timed race. Six hours, most laps wins, but most folks are just going out there to get however many miles in that they want to. I’ve run one of these races for him, plus I put on one modeling his lead and they’re a really nice time. People going out, running, supporting the cause. If you’re in Oregon, CLICK HERE to see what Steve is doing!
KANSAS CITY: We’re going to have a half-marathon on December 29 in Lenexa. We’ll have the same shirts and medals as the race back in California and I’m 99% sure I’m going to be out there helping out. There’s a shortcut link to the event at operationjack.org/kc
MAINE: We have a good group of autism fighters out in the Portland, Maine area having an event with prizes. CLICK HERE for their event. Those of you in Maine who read this probably already know them (or are them), but just in case, check it out! They’re also going to have the same shirts and medals as the folks in California.
EVERYBODY ELSE: You can still participate in your own satellite run. Here’s a page with information. You’ll get the same medal as everybody else in the other races and you’ll be supporting a great cause. So check it out!
2. Best Christmas card ever, us in 2010:

3. My mother-in-law (Jack’s Grandma) likes to sell Avon and is doing a fundraiser for Operation Jack. She’s having an online event and she’s donating all of the proceeds to the Operation Jack Autism Foundation. She loves him more than words can express and has spent so much time helping us out with him over the years and is really excited about raising money in his name. So, if you ever buy things from Avon, or if you’re willing to browse around for a couple of minutes and see if there’s something small you might like (heck, it’s a fundraiser where you actually get something back for your donation!), click to operationjack.org/avon.
That’s all for today … have a great weekend! Go K-State! Beat Texas!
