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
