The extended E Streeters family took to the Bruce Freeman Trail this morning for an important cause, raising money for Jack Christianson, who is bravely fighting leukemia. All of the proceeds from today's run and walk are being used to help Jack's family cope with so many other costs as they help their son tackle the disease. (And if you couldn't make it today, any donations are still welcome! Checks can be made payable to the Christianson Family Fund, c/o Krisy Ostrowski, and can be mailed to Kristy at 6 Margate Road, Nashu, N.H., 03062!) Please donate if you can, especially during this holiday season!Pre-race, the extended E Streeters, now adding kids' bicycles to our repertoire.
Jill took the early lead, right out of the gate, but alas, it would not last long.
Because Tommy wasted no time in blowing by her
Here he is again, all smiles now, feeling satisfied with himself because he's crushed Jill in his wake.
Sean and Barry, with their pace bike.
At least one of the Scanlon boys would prove he had a chivalrous side today, though.
Me, trying to figure out why the Scanlon boys are dressed in identical running suits.
We're still all smiles at this point.
Shea took off before her dad could take her bike and ride it back in.
No bananas, and no husband (Jonathan was home tossing his Christmas cookies), Ruth was no nonsense out on the trail today!
Surpisingly, none of us were even able to come close to catching Kara Haas, who makes us all look sadly old and and amazingly slow. 
An E Streeter alone, Tom Hildreth is trying to figure out where everyone is!
Apparently, Anne walks the Freeman Trail every week, because our cameras keep picking her up out there.
Dos corazons, en amor:
This could have made for a great Christmas card, but the Kennys already got this year's mailed out.
Post-ride, Shea found a quiet corner and took up a position that many of us feel like assuming after so many of our runs. 
Thanks again to everyone for turning out, and congratulations to the organizers, who pulled in quite a healthy number of participants to give Jack and his family a helping hand this holiday season!

Thank you so much for your support today. It was put together at the last minute and my friends did a great job. Jack would be so happy to see everyone run for him today. :)
