Congratulations! Great jobs Hogan and Roger! --Previous Message-- : They did it! : : Father and son Roger and Hogan Marquis ran : and biked the length of Maine, from Fort : Kent to Kittery, in ten days, as planned. : They ran past Kittery to Portsmouth, then : back to Kittery at the finish line – Bob’s : Clam Hut – today, Sunday, May 31, 2009, ten : days after starting their Wicked Long Run : for Camp CaPella Kids on Friday, May 22, at : the International Bridge in Fort Kent. : : Alternating between one jogging on the road : and the other riding a bike (dragging a : carriage with tent and supplies behind), the : two traveled a total of more than 500 miles, : stretching the final run around Kittery just : to make sure on that total mileage and after : slightly rearranging the route on Friday. : Each consecutive day’s wicked long run was : the equivalent of more than one or maybe two : or even three marathons, both father and son : sharing the load. : : Along the way Roger and Hogan Marquis : encouraged and collected contributions to : help send children with physical and : developmental disabilities to camp this : summer at Camp CaPella. Located on Phillips : Lake in Dedham, about halfway between Bangor : and Ellsworth, Camp CaPella provides : handicapped-accessible facilities – now on a : year-round basis – to children (and adults) : with disabilities, including those unable to : run 500 miles through Maine from top to : bottom in ten days. : : No financial numbers are available as yet. : Donations collected along the way will be : counted and deposited, while contributions : by check are still coming in, sometimes in : the flyers passed out by Roger and Hogan : Marquis along their wicked long journey. : : But whatever the final numbers, the Wicked : Long Run for Camp CaPella Kids was a great : success for all concerned, including the : children with disabilities who will be at : Camp CaPella this summer as a result. Roger : and Hogan Marquis also spread the word about : Camp CaPella throughout Maine – including : news stories on TV and radio stations and in : daily and weekly newspapers all along the : way from start to finish, with editors and : reporters and photographers and news crews : often going the extra mile themselves to get : their stories. : : Thank you one and all. : : Contact: : Fritz Lyon : PR rep for Camp CaPella (pro bono) : 338-6218 : fritzlyon@myfairpoint.net : : :
