Hi Team,
I had a great time volunteering at IMLT Practice Weekend. Thank you to all the volunteer staff that put this together and those that were out there supporting the participants. To all of the participants great job and efforts by each and everyone of you to do what you could. Hope that you took something away from that workout to build on for Event day.
For those that stayed close to home… we missed you and hope the Coaches provided you with several options for a workout around the area.
Well here we are on the last stretch for VINEMAN, it has been a short 8 months. Taper period is approaching, you all have come along way and I want to see you all cross the finish line. Don’t over do it or do anything crazy.

Hi Iron Peeps,
Hope that you are all having a great 4th of July. Just wanted to give you some updates. Final fundraising deadline for Vineman has past and Kerry and Gaylene will be making the necessary charges in the next week or so to bring you to your Commitment amounts if you are not there.
We are on a mission to cure cancer…no donation is to small. Remember you can continue fundraising up to, during and even after your Event as your websites remain active for up to 30 days after you have completed your event.
If I don’t see you before then… I will see you on the 21st of July at Send Off for our Vineman Participants.
Dennis
