This is the second race but not the last . This was my first one and I really want to say how good it feels to be part of such a great thing . The support for us running and the support that teamdykeman is getting is unreal . We all go through rough patches in our lives but somehow family and friends always pull together and I have truly witnessed the effect that it can have on me personally and others .
I want to personally thank the Batemans for being so supportive ! I want to Thank Peter for keeping up with this website like he does .

Just in race miles, Team Dykeman has run almost 100 miles…JUST in race miles…adding training miles to that would make the distance unreal! We will strike yet again on March 28th for the Raleigh Rocks 1/2 Marathon in Raleigh, NC…2 runners confirmed so far (Andrew and I :o ) with several others pending ,,, all welcome to join! Help us spread the word and build the team…come join us!

We are especially proud to be members of Team Dykeman. To run for such a cause puts a fire in your heart that keeps burning until you cross the Finish Line. Thanks to all of you who are supporting Team Dykeman. And a special thanks to Miss Jane for the after party.
Kim and Dewayne

Andrew and Julie are veterans of distance running having completed full marathons in the past. But there are two men running distance for the first time — Paul Handly and Rusty Sneeden.

Paul is a first cousin to Captain Phil (and me) and when asked by Andrew didn’t hesitate to throw his hat into the ring. Paul called me and to try and get me to join in…. I whimped out… Paul trained over the past couple of months and will be running his first distance race. I am very proud of you Paul.

Rusty Sneeden has been a good friend to my brother Andrew and to our whole family. He has been there for us in good times and some bad times. Rusty only met Captain Phil a couple of times — I believe they played golf together — but Rusty never hesitated he didn’t wait to be asked; when he learned of the marathon in Myrtle Beach he said, “count me in”. This past week, Rusty sent e-mails to literately hundreds of friends and co-workers at Corning (in Wilmington, NC) asking for support and donations on behalf of Team Dykeman. Rusty is a good man and I want to say Thank you to him and all of his friends and co-workers for their help and support as we raise money and awareness for Team Dykeman.

To all the others running this weekend… I wish you best of luck and stiff breezes only at your back!

Go Team Dykeman!
