Our forumite Lurch has a profile on the front page of RWOL. I had the pleasure of meeting Rick at a Disney race, his lovely wife and daughter. Class act, all 3 of them.

Saw it on FB but never thought it was on the front page! That is awesome. Congrats, Lurch!
He ran a marathon this weekend; I am sure he is coming up with an RR, so he can tell us all about these two things. RIGHT?

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

Nice! Too bad they edited out the line about the B&B on RA being a great group of people.

"My biggest hurdle was the shame I felt from being a fat man running. In the beginning, I only ran on a treadmill because I was too ashamed to run outside. I thought I looked like an oaf or an ogre. As I got to know the regular patrons of the gym, they complimented me on my consistency in training and the changes in my appearance. That’s when I realized that the only person who felt any shame about my appearance was me."
This line will serve as inspiration for years to come.
Congrats Rick. Thanks to the web, "15 minutes of fame" can last a lifetime these days.
LOL...
That is a very nice story. They chose a worthy subject.

The only problem here is every time I see this thread, I think it says "Lunch is on RWOL", I get hungry and think RWOL is buying.
Me too.
Awesome story.

This is so awesome! Good for Lurch! He's got some of the best written RR's on here too. I look forward to his Santa Rosa Marathon recap.
