The Countdown Begins And A Website!

     Ladies and gents, we are now less than a month away from Runs For Relief: Rhode Island.  Now, some of you may be thinking that Rhode Island is a small and seemingly insignificant state, but let me take this space to fill you in on 5 cool facts about Rhode Island:


1.  The Flying Horse Carousel, the nation's oldest carousel, is located in Rhode Island.
2.  In 1774 Rhode Island was host to the nation's first circus.
3.  Providence was home to George M. Cohan- the writer of "Yankee Doodle Dandy" and "You're A Grand Old Flag"!
4.  The world's largest bug is located on the roof of New England Pest Control in Providence.  It is a big blue termite, 58 feet long.
5.  The highest point in the state is a whopping 812 feet above sea level.


    Wow, just typing that stuff gets me all riled up!  


     Only 26 days to go!


     Now, without further ado...  our website!

The folks at the National Psoriasis Foundation did a great job of helping us set this up, we can't thank them enough for their support, but we will try!  Some very helpful ways that you can support the project are "liking" us on facebook, following our blog, making a donation, or just telling us what you think of the project, if you please, and if you don't please, your moral support  and kind words are always welcomed!
