I have at least 50 pairs of amazing sunglasses underwater in various bodies of water. Had I done the double up, I'd have a Sun Glasses Hut retail outfit of my own.

Default Thank You

Thank You Matt and everyone for the kind words, this is a honor and privilege to have this event spotlighted like this. We Thank everyone that participates, sponsors, donates, and volunteers time and effort to help make this run possible. Without this help this run would never be the reality it is today and we would never have been able to help the kids that we have been able to help each year. I would like to thank the creators and producers of "Smoke On The Water" for giving us the inspiration for this run.

THANK YOU!!

Thank you, Nolan Ferris and Tim Sharkey for getting in touch with me regarding this great poker run. This is the second time this season someone has reached out to me about a run I didn't know existed. Obviously, I'm aware of most of the "major" runs but no matter how hard I work the phones—and I work them pretty hard—I can't know about all the worthwhile events.

So ... if you have a run you want me to know about, email me here. I can't promise I'll write about it (though I probably will), but just knowing it exists is half the battle.

Last, to all of you who put in the time not just to create something fun to do but also something worthwhile in the larger scheme of things, bravo.
