Dear Fellow JSRC members: This is just a short note to let you know that the ten of us
successfully completed the miracle marathon to raise funds for Camp Sunshine - a retreat in
Casco, Maine for critically ill children and their families. This was accomplished by running relay
style over a period of 13 days from West Palm Beach Florida to the Camp in Maine. (from June 5
- 17) Although the weather was extremely hot and humid we all came through for the cause. I,
myself have raised $5200 for this most worthy cause and I would like to personally thank all of
you who contributed. It's still not too late to send in your contribution. All checks should be made
payable to Camp Sunshine and sent to me at 48 Sandburg Drive, Morganville, NJ 07751.
Questions; call 732-536-9100. Hope to see you out of the roads and have a great summer. Best
regards to all. David (the miraclemarathoner) Gross
