Joe completes the Seattle Marathon for a Cause

Our very own Joe Velasquez completed the Seattle Marathon last Sunday, November 29 in a little over 5 hours (and then some change).  In spite of some cramping and almost 5 miles of difficulty (that caused him to lose some significant time), he actually did better than the first time he ran it several years ago.  Truly the years have not gotten ahead of him.
Joe trained and ran the marathon to raise funds for the Team Evergreen Village (our community's sponsored GK Village) and to benefit the victims of the Typhoon Ondoy disaster in the Philippines (see blogs below).  He specifically targeted the shortage of school supplies of children whose educational institutions have all been washed out by the floods.
Way to go, Joe!  It's nice to know people can get all sorts of creative for a good cause.
