SHOUT OUTS

Congratulations to Erin from the Pace Yourself… It’s Just Cancer and Will Run For Podcast on completing the New York City Marathon for Fred’s Team and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

Shout out to Michael Leslie for getting the Chicago Marathon under his belt and completing the New York City Marathon.  So he has several of his World Marathon Major stars now.  B2B Marathons in October and November, @rundisnerd?  Applause, applause!  

Last week, we sent our Nice Guys Pizza shoutout to the Executive Director of the DONNA Foundation, Amanda Napolitano.  She listened and was so touched that she shouted back to Greg and Jovanna back… She says thank you for the beverage called “I Dream of Autumn Barbie” and $2 from each one going to The DONNA Foundation.  She’s coming to see you soon to taste one of our favorite beverages!

Thanks to all our patrons and everyone in the Runcation Nation for your support and encouragement. Because of you, we have kept the show going over the last two years, so thank you!  

Thank you to Dean Gerber, Associate Producer of our show, and Josh Ozbirn, Executive Producer of the podcast, too!

Shout out to Janine, Big Ed, and Joe in New York, who gave us stellar recommendations for this episode.

Congratulations to Andi, our fellow D Squad Ambassador, and Michael Leslie (aka @rundisnerd) for completing the Chicago Marathon while we were dealing with Hurricane Milton, so the shoutouts are a bit delayed!

We have to mention it again because we are so grateful… Huge shout out to Greg and Jovanna, owners of Nice Guys Pizza. They have introduced their fall cocktail menu, and a drink is at the top of the list called “I Dream of Autumn Barbie.”  $2 from each drink sold will go to The DONNA Foundation to support their mission to help those battling breast cancer and the support they give to ground-breaking research that will finish breast cancer.

We will also have an online auction next month for the DONNA Foundation… stay tuned for some great items for our Runcation Nation Community that are not so close to Cape Coral and Nice Guys Pizza.
