Hello Friends,

Happy Friday, Feb 8th, 2013! We are heading into another weekend of Winter weather approaching. Just a normal type of weather up here in Minnesota. Going to busy tonight leading my Webelos Den for a night of Bowling and Pizza. The scouts are going to be earning their Bowling Belt Loop and Activity Pin. I spent some time researching the history and background information on the sport of Bowling. Zach has a full day of wrestling at the Chatfield Youth Wrestling tournament on Saturday. Sunday morning is the Lace Up Against Breast Cancer 10 mile Run/5K Run/Walk. That is if the snowstorm coming doesn't end up cancelling the race.

Today I officially kicked off my fundraising effort with Team RWB or Team Red,White, and Blue. Team Red White and Blue (aka Team RWB) is a group I joined this year. Team RWB's mission is to enrich the lives of America's veterans by connecting them to their community through physical and social activity. Focusing on: 1. Reintegration through physical fitness; 2. Personal connectivity between Veterans and citizens in the community where they now live; 3. Galvanization of esprit de corps and team membership.

As a 10-year Army Veteran, I have a strong connection to activities supporting Veterans like me. I love triathlons, duathlons, and running events. The multisport community is a welcoming and supportive group of regular people having fun competing and training in the sport they love. I believe Veterans can find a great sense of friendship and motivation through multisport activities.

I am fundraising with Team RWB leading into the 6th Annual Rochesterfest Triathlon. I would like to raise money for the Team RWB cause. I would love to participate with other people in the triathlon too. Please join me in the event, check out:
