On Saturday, March 25, there will be a 5K run and walk to raise money to help Paul Auger. Paul has been diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome.  Guillain-Barre syndrom is a condition in which the immune system attacks the nerves.

Paul is completely paralyzed from the neck down.  

Paul has been the only income earner in his family.  His return to work will be many months out and the doctor indicated possibly up to a year for him to regain the skills necessary for his job. His family has set up a GoFundMe page and FrontRunner would like help contribute to that fund

SO WE ARE GOING TO HOLD A RUN/WALK FOR PAUL AUGER 5K FUNDRAISER

Here are the details.

The start and finish will be in the marina area of Boatworks Commons.  Race Day Registration and packet pickup will be in at same area.

Run and walk will start at 9:00 A.M.

Wear one of your favorite t shirts and bring something for the White Bear Food Shelf.  Hope to see you there.  Online registration is available at Midwest Events until Wednesday, March 22.  You will find a paper entry at the FrontRunner’s website

I have had many people ask me why the St. Paul Triathlon isn’t on our 2017 schedule.  2017 would have been the 12th annual.  I did a quick search as to how many people participated in this event over the years and the number came up to about 3500.  I’m glad to say that the event isn’t going away but just taking a year off as the City of St. Paul and the Metropolitan Council does a major repair to the sewer pipes around Lake Phalen and some more much needed repair to Wheelock Parkway.  Stacy, from St. Paul Parks, had given me a heads up on this project last year.  The area where we usually put to transition area is going to be completed torn up (if fact I believe they have already started on the project).  We looked at different options as to where we could exit out of the swim and onto the bike course but always came up empty.

Stacy has kept the triathlon in the 2018 park schedule so we plan to be back then (thanks Stacy!!).  We look forward to seeing you at the 12th Annual St. Paul Triathlon in 2018 – if not before.
Thanks.
Randy
