There's two types of support as I see it- one makes it easier to do the things you'd be doing anyway and the other enables you to do things you wouldn't otherwise get to experience. I'm off to Seward to compete in the Lost Lake Run today! Thanks to Rich Suddock of Anchorage for sponsoring my entry fee! The run is a fundraiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation which is a great cause... but without a sponsor I wouldn't even think to sign up. So I am thrilled to have this opportunity to race the Lost Lake trail-- I hear it's gorgeous and it's even supposed to be a sunny day!
