In Green Bay, Wisconsin, on May 21st, 2006, our 26 385 4 Defeating ALS*
team raised over $7,500 for ALS research at the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon. We came from all over the U.S. and Europe, lapped historic Lambeau field, home of the world famous Green Bay Packers,
to raise awareness and funds for ALS education and research.
Our virtual team cheered us on from all parts of the world via cell phones and the Internet.
TEAM PHOTOS : The weekend provided an opportunity for over 50 members of 4 families and their friends to come together to help defeat a disease that has touched all of us.
In Glenview IL, Neenah WI and Green Bay WI, people opened their homes for get-togethers and graciously provided accomodations to those traveling from out of town. Saturday's backyard Booyah BBQ, hosted by Laurie and Jim Alger, brought together the entire team including members of the Engels, Masterson, Alger and Geniesse extended families. (What's Booyah?)
Frank and Sue returned to the St. Norbert college campus, where they met over 30 years ago, and visited old familiar places.
