2007
was the year it all started. With just one team of
seven members, Team U.F.T. raised $1,360.00 cash and
1,610lbs of food for a total donation value of $4,017.44
smashing the team minimum of $750.00 and 1,250 cans.
On a chilly overcast event day Team U.F.T. came together
with cash donations and a ton of can goods to fulfilled their
final commitment - covering 66 miles at RT66. They
exceeded that goal too by more than 3 miles.
That inaugural year I was fortunate enough to be able to participated
in the Miles for Food event. I'm proud to say it was
on that day I completed my first full marathon distance -
26.2 miles.
