Congrats to all the participants, whether by foot or bike or by partying, volunteering, or donating. The weather was not the best, but I think that the daunting headwind just amplified your courage!

Here is the recap:

Champions: Dennis O'Toole and Katie Joyce

Commissioner's Prize Winner: Sean McMurrough

Participants: john and joanne biemer + jack & ellie; blough; clark; pat (II), carol and pat (III) dwyer; fernandez; fitz + margaret; gombas; patrick and leah gray + mel; c. grunewald; sarah mcmurrough, murray; modrowski; woods.

Party people: nicole, daly, kelly & tito, cunninghams, muench, morrison, carissa, lowery, martina, kelly, kim grunewald, garcha, o'briens, stolfis, mcclung, p. o'toole, + all the kids.

Lions: just thought I'd commemorate the roaring lions who greeted myself, fernandez, grunewald, sarah mcmurrough and gombas in the zoo. It will be hard to top that one next year.

T-shirts: I still have a few small-size t-shirts left if anyone wants one. I also may have an extra medium or two. thanks again to Jeff for the design.

Volunteers: Thanks to all who helped---including mom & dad dwyer, grunewalds, o'briens, nicole, gombas's, mcmurrough and daly. Also, thanks to Roman for putting it up on the blog at http://blogs.suntimes.com/fullcourtpress/

Dough: I collected $910 and the t-shirts cost $302. That includes a donation from Bettina Jerome who could not make it. Thanks to Propaganda T-shirts for a huge discount, as all of that discount is forwarded to the shelter. http://www.propagandatshirts.com/ Another $50donation was made online by Rick.

So that is 910-302+50=

$658 total to the shelter. I think that is a record, thanks to the discount.

Thanks again for coming to Dwyerthon 2008!
