Mike Coyle Memorial Fun Run

What an amazing day!  Today was such a great tribute to Mike’s spirit and to the amazing support that Kristin and the Goyles have from their school and friends.  Almost 400 people registered for the run/walk and there were several more supporters:  it was a sea of green t-shirts (beautifully designed by Georgia).  Thank you to everyone that helped put this amazing event together (not to mention the raffle donations, crazy hair booth, and spray tattoos that were available).  There were a few tears, but mostly it was a fantastic celebration of Mike.

A huge thank you to everyone that contributed to this very special day.  I am so happy that I was able to be a part of it.
