Brain Tumors in the News
Columbia River Power Marathon
George headed out west to spread the word about Walk For Kate and participated in the 2011 Columbia River Power Marathon in Umatilla, OR on Saturday October 22, 2011. The scenery in the Columbia River Gorge was absolutely stunning, and the run was just as grand. The route took us over the McNary Dam into the high desert of Washington State, then back to Oregon along the Lewis and Clark Trail. It was a beautiful day to run and he finished in a time of 5:49:35. Thank you for your support!
Columbia Gorge Marathon
As if one marathon weren`t enough, George ran another on Sunday October 23, 2011 in Hood River, OR, about 120 miles west of Umatilla. The 3rd annual Columbia Gorge Marathon was another outstanding run, following the roads and trails at the base of Mt. Hood. George was a little slower, coming in at 6:07:46. All in all, it was a great weekend of running and spreading awareness for brain tumor research and Walk For Kate!
