2010 a Year to Remember

We had quite an incredible year of accomplishments. I want to take a look back at this year -and give out congratulations, special thanks and remembrance.

• Special thanks to 2 great volunteers that have helped me out immensely the past 5+ years. Gwenn Davies has been with me since starting Achilles and stuck with me thru it all these years.
• Rene Cromer has been my right hand man over and over again - helping organize and run all the Achilles parties and run two Hope & Possibility 5K races in Madison. I couldn't have done it without these two wonderful gals.
• Thanks to my volunteers (Ruth and Jennifer) who took two athletes and two service dogs to New York to participate in the annual Hope & Possibility 5 Miler with Prince Harry.
• Special recognition to our first time Triathletes who competed in the Capital View Triathlon in June - Brad D., Kathy D., Jim C., Betty M. and Dana J.
• Congratulations to Brad Carlson for finishing his "Wisconsin 1 Step at a Time" and writing his book.
• Congratulations to Brad Dakan for another incredible finish time in his 3rd New York City Marathon!
• Congratulations to newly weds: Bradley and Edna, Kathy and Jim
• Warm thanks and congrats to everyone involved for putting on our 2nd Annual Hope & Possibility 5K here in Madison and welcoming back special guest Trisha Meili.
• Big welcome to many new members and volunteers: Holly, Naomi, Jessie, Kathy R and Jamie R.
• With deepest Sympathy I note the passing of a wonderful friend, father, husband, son and Achilles member - Michael Roberts. Always in our thoughts and never forgotten Michael.We love you!!!
