Pennsylvania Coordinator's Letter
October 12, 2001

To All Runners and Volunteers for the Pennsylvania portion of the Flag Run

Greeting and thanks for signing up. I apologize for one of us not being able to contact every one of you personally. THE FLAG IS ON THE WAY!! Please stand by for details. Check your e-mail often. We'll have logistics finalized sometime later today or tomorrow morning.

In the meantime, we need:

  • Cars and vans to transport runners. Please bring friends or family to assist in transporting you or other runners. We made arrangements for a bus, but we’re way beyond capacity.
  • Water and food. Coffee, bagels, Power Bars and the like for the really serious athletes. Donuts. (Rumor has it that the cops like these!) Ok... it was a joke!
  • Does anyone have a connection with a bus company for use further down the run in other states? Please let me know.
  • Fire Dept. escorts in Westchester. We have police on board. The more vehicles with cherries on top, the safer we will be. Makes for good show too as the world’s press will be watching. Don’t forget to smile for the cameras.
  • Does anyone have American Legion, AMVETS, military or National Guard connections? Invite them out for the NY run, and have them contact me for support across the US.
  • If you wish to participate in other states, please go back to the website
Thanks for signing up. Please stand by for details.

INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE

We’ve received hundreds of messages and phone calls in the last two weeks. This one hit me especially hard. It seems appropriate to share it.

G'day

My name is David Kavanagh and i reside in a small town, Gatton, about 1hr West of Brisbane, in Queensland, Australia. I was watching "TODAY" on NBC, which is broadcast here in Australia early in the morning on Channel 7. I noted your run across America to support the Sept 11th disaster.

I would like to send on my support from the other side of the world and wish that i could be apart of your run in Amercia.

GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS AMERICA !!

Regards

David Kavanagh
Gatton, QLD, Australia
