It has been a CRAZY month to say the least but we are 1 week away from finishing our kick-off Matching opportunity. Things have slowed down a good bit as people are trying to find their footing with the Coronavirus but there’s something I can’t stress enough, non-profits aren’t taking time off right now. NeighborLinkContinue reading “One Week To Go!!!!”

Sponsor #2 – OmniSource!
It is awesome how things work. Good things tend to come in bunches! Within a day or so of getting a commitment from Sue and Coldwell Banker, I received one from OmniSource and Mike Franio, who are again, another multi-year supporter of our team. OmniSource has now supported us for 4 years now and aContinue reading “Sponsor #2 – OmniSource!”
Keeping Fort Wayne Warm
Just had to share this great video that NeighborLink Fort Wayne produced. It really shows what they’re about and where the money we raised in 2019 went. It was great to see that our funds were both heartwarming and home-warming! We’ve begun our campaign for them already. If you’d like to contribute, please visitContinue reading “Keeping Fort Wayne Warm”
This Is What It Is About!
When we first made the decision to partner with NeighborLink Fort Wayne , it wasn’t an easy decision. We’d been running to benefit a local children’s charity for 3 years, having run 4 long distance relay races to benefit them and had raised approximately $17,000 for them. We started slowly but every year builtContinue reading “This Is What It Is About!”
Runners Doing Good to Again Run to Benefit NeighborLink Fort Wayne
While we work to formally organize the team as a non-profit entity, it would be easy to say that we should take ’20 off, at least until everything is set because it’d be easier, but when you’ve built a reputation based on running 200 mile relay races, stepping away from a challenge isn’t an option.Continue reading “Runners Doing Good to Again Run to Benefit NeighborLink Fort Wayne”
2020’s Vision, Part II
As highlighted in Part I one of the goals was to have a race calendar so that 2020’s effort isn’t confined to 1 major event and anything else in the area is training for it. In our effort to better connect with the Fort Wayne area running community, we’re committed to making our miles countContinue reading “2020’s Vision, Part II”
On Daring Greatly
“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly … who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly” – Teddy Roosevelt I went through a leadership training course this past year and the aboveContinue reading “On Daring Greatly”
Runnin’ Not Walken is now….Runners Doing Good!!!
We’ve been on this trajectory for some time so the beginning of December seems like a great time to kick this off! We have eluded to it for awhile and the name change has been in plain sight as this blog has existed for awhile now. In the recent past, this site floated back andContinue reading “Runnin’ Not Walken is now….Runners Doing Good!!!”
Why Ragnar?
Why do we run Ragnar Relays to benefit charity? The answer is because you can’t do epic alone. It wasn’t always that way though. In the very beginning, the hope was to prove we could physically pull it off. To the uninitiated, a Ragnar Relay is a 12 person, approximately 200-ish mile relay style race. Continue reading “Why Ragnar?”
Runnin’Not Walken Update 5/8
I just wanted to touch base since it’s been a minute or two to update everyone on what’s going on with Runnin’ Not Walken. We have seen a few members of the team participate in some big races of late. Three of the team’s newest runners, Matt and Amanda Herald, and Kelly Kreischer all participatedContinue reading “Runnin’Not Walken Update 5/8”
