Inaugural
Fundraising is Closed
Reimbursement of Marathon Fees
As many of you
know, Jacksonville Galloway Members are eligible to
receive reimbursement of the 2008 race registration fee if
the member raised a minimum of $1,000 for the Donna Hicken
Foundation. Many of you have contacted us saying that you
do not want to be reimbursed, and that is great. However,
we still want to live up to our commitment just as you
lived up to yours.
If you raised
$1,000 or more for the foundation this training season and
would like to have your marathon or half-marathon fee
refunded, please send your request to the Donna
Hicken Foundation no later than Friday, April 4.

Jacksonville Galloway Training Programs for 2008/2009
Registration is Open!
Registration
for our 2008/2009 season for training is also now open.
All of you are considered 'alums' to our program, and are
eligible for the discounted rate. We are offering four
programs again this year, and all of the details are
available online at
http://www.breastcancermarathon.com/run/local-training.html.
Jeff Galloway
will be in town to kick-off our training in mid to late
May. I will let you know as soon as the date is confirmed.
Our first 'Getting Started' run will be Saturday, June 7.
Some of you
are continuing to meet and run together. I think that is
wonderful, and encourage you to reach out to each other
and continue your enjoyment of social long runs even as we
take a little breather from the formal program.
Happy Running!
