TEAM RIVER RUNNER'S Eddylines

Since 2004, Team River Runner has been dedicated to giving veterans & active duty service members an opportunity to find health, healing, and new challenges through whitewater boating and other paddling sports. The benefits of TRR have as much to do with creating a social network and support system as they do with learning water sports skills that provide an exciting adventure lifestyle that suddenly seemed lost due to injury.

TOP 10 Reasons to buy a

TRR Kayak Football t-shirt

10.

They are blue; the Air Force's favorite color is blue...

9.

They are blue; the Navy's favorite color is navy blue and the ink color is navy...

8.

They are blue; the Army Infantry School and its branch color is blue... and remember if something really bad happens to the Operations Plan, EVERYONE in the Army instantly gets a chance to become Infantry...

7.

They are blue; the Coast Guard has a blue stripe next to the really big orange stripe on their ships, boats, planes, and helicopters; so their second favorite color is blue...

6.

They are blue; the Marine Corps favorite color isn't blue...doesn't matter as they historically will spill food on and/or crawl through sand/mud/beaches with their t-shirts on and it will fade to digi-camo anyway...

5.

They come in different sizes to fit people from "Chihuahua to Great Dane"...

4.

Dog people love dogs sized from "Chihuahua's to Great Danes" and need a great t-shirt so show their support for "dog sized people"...

3.

Cat people... aw, heck; they are just different period, and need to buy a t-shirt just because I said so...

2.

Football is an AMERICAN sport, all Americans should want to have at least one t-shirt with a football on it...

1.

Team River Runner helps wounded/injured Veterans, from all branches of service and it is a very small way to say "Thank You" for all they do...

Run, Moe, Run!

SUPPORT MOE'S RUN: 8 TUFF MILES ROAD RACE in St. John, USVI is Saturday, 2/22!

In preparing to run the 8 Tuff Miles next week, I am seeking pledges of 2, 5, 10 cents, or more for each race entrant that I pass (800 or so). This is the 5th year I will start from the back of the pack. All contributions will go to Team River Runner to help them bring a group of veterans to St. John for ocean kayaking and leadership training. Donations can be made online. Mention Moe or St. John and the funds will be targeted to this adventure clinic. Your 5c pledge = $40 (approx) donation.

Please help Moe help our vets! Pledge whatever you can NOW to RUN MOE, RUN! Check TRR Facebook next week to see how many runners Moe passed. If you are lucky enough to be on island, stop by Skinny Legs in Coral Bay to donate. Checks can be made out to Team River Runner; if unable to drop off, your check can be mailed to "Run, Moe, Run" c/o TRR/Mornini 5007 Stone Rd Rockville, MD 20853

QUOTE OF THE MONTH

"Got to support the team that supported me! Who else but Mad Joe M. could drag my busted up missing parts body down to the Walter Reed pool and teach me to turn over in a kayak? I may be gone but not forgotten!"
