The second weekend of the endurathon is
fast approaching, and Steve Shriver's team is ramping up their efforts to greet
Earth Day with a bang. And since he's no longer running, Steve is pouring his
heart and soul into making his point - a sustainable, organic lifestyle is necessary
if we're going to combat global warming.
Today on the run, Kimberly Dickey ran 8
miles, while Dennis Henderson ran 18 miles. They planned to stop tonight around
the Amana Colonies and enjoy a quiet evening at the campsite. Tomorrow, they're
off bright and early to Norway
Elementary School to talk
to 300 kids about organics. I'm pretty sure they'll find a few little green
gorillas
ready to take on the cause.
They're also planning on a huge gathering
at Frontier Natural Products Co-op
where they'll lunch with employees, talk
to customers and meet Ken Roseboro, author of The
Organic Food Handbook
Tony Bedard and his wife Marsha, owners of
Frontier Natural Products will be splitting the endurathon between them
tomorrow while Steve continues in the support vehicle.
Remember to flag them down if you see them
on the road. I hear Steve has plenty of lip balm left to give out.
