December 26, 2009; Great to run supporting Sandra in her first "official" run. This one for a good reason.  Sandra is trying to raise 5000 dollars (yes five thousand dollars) for a water well to serve 250 people clean drinking water for the next 20 years. Of course having lived in West Africa for the last 4 plus years brings this very close to her heart.  I ran in the sponsor shirt for the school project in Indonesia. It was a fun run because the company to run with as great.  Mind you ... when getting ready and quickly using the bathroom before takeoff, I found it interesting to see how much "clean" water goes to waste with those taps you push to get the water and then it keeps on running for awhile, even though your hands are washed already. The run had approx 450 runners participating and even though advertized as an 8 km run ended up being 9 km (and maybe a little more). Over the dunes, on to the beach and then later - due to work on the sand dunes another 1km through a sandpit! The scenery was beautiful, the weather great and the  company wonderful. Sandra you did great! Well done. When will we go again? Check out why Sandra ran and how you can participate to reach her goal there is time left ... http://mycharitywater.org/sandralako
