Sprint Distance Dedication - For my Family

For my family, who has been so generous in this cause, I would like to dedicate "Give it Up" by Hothouse Flowers.
This song is inspired by a good man
And his tune

Thinking good of others
Sing Amazing Grace to you
It doesn't really matter if you're all
Jumbled up inside
As long as you know love is
Endless and the world is wide

Give it up share it out
Help who you can
Talk about it



Thanks to your generosity, I've hit my initial fundraising goal of $500. What to do? Well, I was hoping to have Billy Bragg help with the announcement by singing his song "Moving the Goalposts". Alas, I can't find that on YouTube so I'll have to let you know myself that I'm going to shoot for $750 raised now.

Ok, Billy... time for the big finish.  "Milkman of Human Kindness" on 1, 2, 123!

Sprint Distance Dedication - For Marcee

Amy Harris writes in...

"To my sister Marcee who is raising her daughter to be fun, funky and fierce I dedicate a song sung by one of Marcee's high school idols --- Groove is in the Heart by Deelite. Amy"



And Rosalie, from Uncle Jeremy... that's Q-Tip. And that's Bootsy Collins. It's important.

"1, 2, 3... "
