Winter Soldier Marathon

Big day of planning for the marathon today (yesterday 1/8/14) - & we have a name! Ellie & I were working on logo, & both wanted to do something Capt America-esque. We tossed around a modified version of the Strategic Scientific Reserve, but couldn't come up with a name, until it hit me between the eyes- Winter Soldier! The phrase is a riff off a Thomas Paine observation about summer soldiers being fair weather fighters, but the Winter Soldiers were the people who supported the cause heart & soul. The friends running this thing with me - JD,Elizabeth, Meghan, & Dr. Rini - are truly my winter soldiers. I can fight the cancer battles, but with my friends, we can change the world! Will be posting a mile by mile schedule for those who have expressed interest in running with us soon!
