GABBY'S PURPLE MANIACS DONATE
Thank you to GABBY'S PURPLE MANIACS for their $1,600 donation. The MANIACS raised awareness and money for the Foundation as they prepared and participated in the Adirondack Ragnar Relay. The twelve runners ran in relay from Saratoga Springs, NY to Lake Placid, NY. They ran the 200 mile race continually for 33 hours with the support of their drivers and medics. We appreciate all of their support!
(Runners: Marie Abraham, Dave DeCelle, Lou Rocco, Erin Rocco, Ann Gaetano, John LaVigne, Danielle Erno, Steve Grassmann, Joan Rocco, John Bolton, Keith West, Pam Bisaillon. Not pictured: Drivers Barb McGuire and Mark Bisaillon; Medics Suzie DeCelle and Marybeth Martone)
RUNNING TO REMEMBER
TEAM GABBY GABS participates in regional running races. There are over 25 athletes on the team ranging from first year runners to life-long competitors, but they all have the same goal: Raise awareness of our Foundation and Remember the children our families are grieving. After putting on the Purple, they proudly place a remembrance photo badge on their shirts. Each badge includes a picture of the child and his or her name. The runners are eager to share the story of that child they're "Running to Remember".
