The
recent shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut leaves us in
disbelief, anger, and a deep sadness. It is difficult to know how to cope with
such loss just as observants. There are many athletes out there who have proposed
doing 26 miles for 26 lives, whether that is swimming, biking, running, skiing,
walking, or whatever.
There
is a walk/run/or relay on Saturday December 22nd in Nashville, Tennessee
called 26.4.26. The $1 per mile proceeds will be donated to the United Way of
Western Connecticut. You can go to this event in Nashville or submit your miles
and donation directly. For more information, go to: http://www.tricrowd.com/2012/12/about-26-4-26/?fb_source=pubv1.
I also have a friend who started
a Facebook page called “26 Miles For 26 Lives Lost” in remembrance of the
individuals lost, at https://www.facebook.com/events/466378423419381/468310363226187/?notif_t=plan_mall_activity.
You can submit any number of miles to this Facebook page through Christmas Eve.
So cuddle close with the
ones you love and enjoy every minute of this life we have. It is fleeting yet
beautiful.
