Today was the annual Hands of Hope Turkey Trot. Hands of Hope is a charitable organization founded by some retired teachers (whom I am friends with, and who also belong to St. Andrews Presbyterian Church) and others to help homeless school children and their families. It's a really well-run organization, and our stake has been assisting them in a variety of ways.
My personal contributions include entering the data they collect each month (i.e. how their facilities and services are used) into a spreadsheet so that they can better serve people, and running in their annual 5k race. Specifically, my contribution to the race to make everyone in it feel better about themselves because there will be at least one person (me) who is so slow that they will be able to pass him.
It was really beautiful weather today and the race went quite well. Of course a big up-side to doing this particular race every year is that they provide a free breakfast afterward. I'll never turn down pancakes, sausage, and orange juice!
