BOLDER BOULDER 2009
Looking for sponsors for Lost Boys and Girls to run in 2009 BOLDER BOULDER. If you would like to sponsor a guy or girl to run, you can donate on-line.
Many guys and girls are interested in running this year but cannot afford the entry fee, so if you can help us, that would be wonderful.

JOBS NEEDED
Due to the economic downturn, many guys have been laid off. Many have now graduated from colleges and cannot find jobs in their field, but they will take ANY jobs. Please contact me if you know of anything.
Our CFLBS fund is very low, so if you are able, please donate on-line or mail a check payable to CFLBS c/o Jean Wood, 454 Owl Drive, Louisville, CO 80027.
Many guys support their families in Africa as well as trying to support themselves. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Jean, President

Triathlon to raise Money for Lost Boys/Girls of Sudan
I’m coming out of retirement to do a Triathlon at the Boulder Reservoir on Sept 15. It is called TRI FOR YOUR CAUSE.
WHY am I doing it?
80% of the registration fee will go to the CHARITY of your choice. There are about 25 charities listed on the site, and our organization Colorado Friends of the Lost Boys & Girls of Sudan is on there. SO-O-O-O if any of you would like to race, go the web site - www.triforyourcause.com or go to Active.com.
Here are the options: A triathlon OR a duathlon OR a 5K Run. You can choose the event you would like to do and the distances are listed on the Web Site. On the drop down list, you select the cause you want to race for, and you will find us. OR if any of you would like to donate to support me to raise money, you can do that on the site too.
So, start training and do this with me.
Thanks!
Jean
