Way to go Team CdLS!
Team CdLS ran, and survived, the Chicago Marathon October 22. All 15 members completed the race. Bill Weidman of Lynnefield, MA, came in first among the group, crossing the finish line in 3:01:15. You can view a slideshow of the team at http://www.flickr.com/photos/64094128@N00/show/.
The runners raised more than $32,000, to date, for the CdLS Foundation. They also raised a whole lot of awareness of CdLS. Check out the front page newspaper articles on Team Captain Beth Smisloff at www.cdlsusa.org/teamcdls.
Marathon Facts:
- More than $8.3 million was raised for charities.
- 33,633 people finished the 26.2 mile course.
- 11,000 completed the marathon for the first time.

Thanks. For those of you who don’t know what an “RSS feed” is, it’s another way to see activity on the blog. However, if you are not tech savvy, I recommend you stick to the basics and either read the blog by coming to this site, or signing up for email delivery.
