Hey everyone! If anyone is procrastinating in supporting me during a 5K run/walk in the end of March, here is another chance to get on the stick. :-) The "race" partially benefits the Georgetown Lombardi Cancer Center (where I go for treatments). Below is all the info you need.
We're forming a team to run/walk in the 'Fourth Annual Scope It Out 5K' race in Washington, D.C., and would like to invite you to run or walk with us (Team Name: "Never FELT Better"). You can also volunteer and donate to support the fight against colon cancer. To register to run or walk with our team, follow this link: http://www.active.com/event_detail.cfm?CHECKSSO=1&EVENT_ID=1489810&RESET=0
Make sure to indicate when you register that you are participating with team "Never FELT Better". Registration is only $20 before February 1st! Race Details: The race will be held at 8:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 30, 2008, in West Potomac Park, Washington, D.C., during National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. To date, Scope It Out 5K has raised over $185,000 to further colorectal cancer research and awareness. Proceeds will go to the Prevent Cancer Foundation, Colon Cancer Alliance, and the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University Hospital (where Shawn is currently getting treated). Official race website: http://www.scopeitout5k.com/ScopeItOut.asp?page=Details.html&hgt=740
There are other ways to support this effort besides running or walking the race: 1) Volunteer during race day, and do things like register participants and hand out water. Volunteer information can be found on the race website. 2) Donate to help the cause. Donations can be made in support of "Never FELT Better" at

We would like to keep track of who is participating in the race or volunteering. Please email your information and any questions you may have to Anne Dilger at annied26.2@gmail.com or Carrie O'Brien at carrieob@verizon.net. Hope to see you at the race! Remember - feel free to pass this along to anyone who might be interested in supporting Shawn!

Shawn is modest and didn't mention that of all the teams registered, he has the 2nd highest number of walkers/runners. Guess what? No surprise....he wants to be #1! Please help make that happen by registering soon to join Shawn on March 30th. Thanks!
Unfortunately I won't be able to walk with the team but I did donate and wish you the best of luck!!
