As part of this summer’s Club Northwest All-Comers Track andField Meet Series at Shoreline Stadium, I will be running my 7^th official Firefighter Mile on May 30^th at approx. 7pm. This run will be an effort to establish a new world record for the fastest mile in full firefighting bunker/combat gear. The mark to beat to qualify for the Guinness Book of World Records is 10:00 and I am currently on track in my training to run 8:30 to 9:00. I am raising funds during this run to benefit Camp Eyabsut, a local burn injured children’s camp in desperate need of funding for this summer’s activities. See their website at http://www.saveburncamp.org/Save_Camp_Eyabsut.php

I am asking you to consider pledging any amount per second that I am under the 10:00 mark. For example if you pledge $1/second and I run an 8:30 mile then you will be pledging to donate $90 to the camp.

I also have a few other needs to meet the requirements of the Guinness folks. I need at least three people to assist and digitally record the ENTIRE event from different angles without breaks so I can send a copy to document my effort. (The file needs to be in a format that can be burned to a CD.)

I need a pacer, with track and field experience, who would be willing to assist my efforts by pacing my run, most importantly the third and fourth laps.

Thanks for supporting Camp Eyabsut.
