Please join us in supporting Tim Osburn as he competes in the ultimate test of tests, the Marathon Des Sables, in Morocco. He will be running/walking/crawling for 7 days and 150 miles across the Saharan Desert, not only to test himself, but to raise awareness for two very worthy causes, Shelter Box USA and Rotary International.

http://www.rotary.org/
To show our support, we will be walking on the days that Tim is walking and donating to his causes based on our mileage. The idea is for each person to walk 5 miles per day and donate at least $1.00 per mile that he/she walks. If you can’t walk, donate. If you can’t donate, walk. If you can’t do either, help spread the word.
The race begins this Sunday (April 4th) and ends next Saturday (April 10th). We are planning on meeting at pre determined places in the Lakeway area in the evenings so that we can all walk together. If you can not make it, no problem, this is not a regimented event, you can walk on your own. The goal is to make a commitment, test yourself as Tim is, and support these causes in the process. Tim will be averaging 21.428571 miles per day, we can do 5.
On the final day, Saturday, April 10th, as Tim finishes the race, we will end our last 5 miles with a nice and sweaty but relaxing party at Carlos 'n Charlie's. There we will relish in our accomplishment, enjoy good friends, and open our hearts and wallets to these worthy causes. If you are a donation only supporter, please join us for the fun.
I also encourage you to involve your kids in this event. This is something that they all can do, physically and monetarily, that will give them a good taste of commitment and charity.
Please reply to the e-mail below if you are willing to take on this “monumental” challenge. I’ll put you on the list for locations/updates.
