Speaking of fundraising...teams have raised more than $16,000 so far! Did you know that the $200 that each team is raising will provide a week of shelter and 20 meals for a person? Cool, huh? As of yesterday, Team Tower took over as the first place fundraising team, raising more than $1,100!
For each team who qualifies for the final race, we're working on creating a web page with their photo and bio information. Should be cool. Finally, here's some neat facts about our teams.
- The average age of the racers is 33. The oldest is 52. Youngest is 19.
- 10 are husband-wife teams
- 7 are sister (or sister-in-law) teams
- 16 teams are just friends
- 4 are co-worker teams
- 3 are teams who are dating
- 1 team is engaged
- 1 is a nephew/uncle team
See you on Saturday!
