Our friend Mike Keohane is organizing a relay fun run to honor Doug Stern and raise funds for Kidney Cancer Research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. For those who did not know Doug, he was an inspirational and much loved figure in the local running, swimming and triathlon community. Among other things, he was a gifted swimming coach, he invented Deep-Water Running classes, he hosted the Highland Triathlon and he was the leader of the Bandit Catchers for the New York City Marathon. Doug died suddenly last year from Kidney Cancer. Last December at the first Jingle Bell Run in his honor $2,700 was raised for MSKCC. The goal this year is to raise $5,000. Information from Mike Keohane about the run is posted below:
