Running just as fast as you can...(long)
Alright, so every year my family puts together a team for the Mercer Island Rotary Run (there is a 5k, 10k, and half marathon option...even walks). This will be our fourth year....and we would love to have you be a part of our team....TEAM G-UNIT! If you, your family or friends might be interested please spread the word. The more the merrier....
This is a great motivational tool for those of you doing the C25K or having running or walking in your New Year's resolutions. More info in the email I sent to members of Team G-Unit below!
We also have a Facebook Page and you can find out more info there:

Yep...it is that time of year again! Can you believe it? This will be the fourth year that Team G-Unit will take part in the Mercer Island Rotary Run for Colon Cancer Prevention. The early sign-up date/cheap registration is until Monday, February 7th. Remember there is a 5k run and walk, a 10k run and a half-marathon option. More information is here: https://www.mercerislandhalf.com/. Please remember to Join a Team and to pick Team G-Unit...we want to be the largest team this year instead of the second largest team!
For those of you new to the team my dad has been battling Colon Cancer for 4 years now. He has underwent 6 surgeries and countless sessions of chemotherapy and through it all has remained amazingly positive and courageous. I hope we can all handle challenges the way he has! This event lets us honor and support the fight that he is going through and celebrate the spirit he has each day! He now has "undetectable" Cancer and his doctors are really astonished at where he is and the fight he has waged and that wouldn't be possible without the cutting edge research and UW Medical Center and Fred Hutchinson were doing.
We will have team t-shirts again! I am still waiting on the final artwork and price, but I imagine they will be around $8 if you would like to order one! Please email me with how many and what sizes you need. We are also looking into a post-race venue for lunch...more details to follow!
If you can't run and would like to donate to a good cause you can also do that through our team too on the website above!
We hope to see some of you in Mercer Island on Sunday, March 20th! Please feel free to forward this to anyone and everyone you think might want to participate. Our team is open to all...people who know us and love us and people who just want to support a good cause!
Love,
Melody (Galen's daughter)

And the man, G-Unit himself, is like a celebrity at the run!
Crap!!! We'll be out of town that weekend for a family reunion.
I remember you posting last year when I was all knocked up and thinking that I would definitely do it this year.
Is this the only race you guys do each year? If there are others will you let me know? I would love to join if I can.
yes - Started C25K yesterday. Hoping to run it all.
I am going to run this year! 10k here I come
I am sorry to hear about your mom. Cancer is so up and down...we get that for sure. My dad has Stage 4...so most of his surgeries have been in the liver. My thoughts are with your mom too.
Glad to hear you will be with us this year!
