262 with donna: Marathon Surfer, Jacksonville Beach, FL - 11/05/11 08:47 AM
A good friend of mine, Kurtis Loftus, recently decided on a unique way to raise both awareness and funds for the 26.2 With Donna Breast Cancer Marathon.
He decided to surf for 30 hours in an effort to set the surfing world record, of course, with Guinness World Record reps on hand.

Did he achieve his goal? Hell, yes - you … (5 comments)

I don't know if you were able to watch part or all of the race today, or if you were one of the many who raced - if so, I applaud all of you!
I watched near the half-way point, up Seminole Road, and was amazed at how many people I saw not just running or walking but supporting this fabulous cause and event.
Many of us have a family member, or dear friend who has been diagnosed with breast cancer, and raced in their honor. The weather today was about near-perfect for the race, and we saw many smiles and … (0 comments)
