Note from Tom Adair - Norm
Frank has improved considerably says Mark Frank ---his son. He
has been moved to rehab center in Rochester, NY for 30 days to help him with walking and
speech. Mark said it was okay for Norm friends to call him on his direct line in his room
at the Jewish Home of Rochester (rehab center) at 585-427-9992 between
8:00am to 8:00pm. Friends can mail Norm letters or cards to Mark’s home at: 322
Valiant Drive, Rochester, NY 14623. Any treats (cookies or candy)
shipped to Norm must be sugar free. I spoke to Norm Saturday night after the Bear Chase
marathon. His speech and hearing still need help. He’s
improved modestly since the last time I talked with him. We chatted but it was limited
because he could not understand everything I was saying (maybe he doesn’t understand
Southern-talk.)
Our thoughts and prayers are with Tom Detore
and his family. His wife, Donna, passed away 4/2/09. http://www.amosfamily.com/2009/04/donna-lee-weinberg-detore/
On April 22nd I will start a ten day race to raise money for Camp Sunshine. My goal
is to run/walk 500 miles and raise $10,000 so that very sick children and
children with life threatening illnesses and their families can go to Camp Sunshine.
I am a 63 year old retired Auburn firefighter who has raised money
in the past for C.S. by running a 135 mile race across Death Valley in July and doing
a 6 day race completing 320 miles. I have also done several shorter races for Camp
Sunshine. There is no way I could come close to accomplishing my goals if I was not
helping seriously ill children attend Camp Sunshine.
Your donations will not only help these children and their
families but will also motivate me towards my 500 mile goal. Please donate
by visiting www.tendaysforsunshine.org
or mailing a donation to Camp Sunshine 35 Acadia Road Casco, ME 04015. You can also learn
more about Camp Sunshine at www.campsunshine.org
. Check out the donation website for more information about the race and how to follow my
progress toward my goal.
I know these are tough economic times so please be assured that
any amount of your donation will be greatly appreciated and will be very motivating to me.

I’d like your help in promoting my autobiography, Running through
My Mind: Confessions of an Every Day Runner. After 105,000+ miles
and (literally) running every day for over 28 years, I think I’ve managed to compile the
complete book of running. From Peachtree to Boston to a ‘run across
Georgia’ to 24-hour endurance runs to Badwater to Western States—I’ve
managed to taste a little bit of everything running has to offer in my quest to cover the
spectrum in my running career (which is still going strong, by the way). I would
appreciate it if you would forward this to the members of your running club as well as
anyone else you believe might be interested or in need of a little motivation, a little
inspiration, and a whole lot of entertainment. Thanks in advance for your
support. -Scott Ludwig Available
