Friends,

As you all may know, our good friend Jesse Shaw is currently fighting the brave fight against cancer. He's doing an incredible job with his treatments, and his spirits remain high.  In the past month, many of his friends and co-workers have asked how they could support him as he goes through this process.......so here's your chance.  Jesse is going to have significant out of pocket expenses over the next year, and it would be very helpful if we could all pitch in and help out with these costs.  A number of his friends and co-workers, collectively known as Team for Jesse, have decided to run over 185 miles for Jesse over the next 4 months on 4 continents!  Team for Jesse has signed up for a number of different races from now until Nov 3rd to meet this goal.  Please support Team For Jesse and donate any money that you can to help out with these expenses.  You will not be donating by the mile or by the runner, simply a set amount to support Jesse.  

Finally, after you donate, please return to the site over time and leave messages for Jesse and the Team For Jesse in the comments tab.  You will be able to view all of the updates and results from their training and races.

Congrats to Stephen D. Callahan for his ING NYC Marathon Finish!!!

Update posted by scallahan24 at 03:11 pm

Steve managed a swift time of 4 hours and 35 minutes, running through intense Plantar Fasciitis pain just like his kindred spirit Jimmy Graham.  Rumors swirled that Buzubesh Deba came in 2nd place because she was so distracted by Steve's silver fox good looks that she just couldn't get her head into
