Walking the Walk

The troops of the extended Clan Nicholson were out in full force again for this year's Cancer Walk sponsored by Lowell General Hospital.  Finally, a great day of weather, with no rain in sight!
Andrew and I ran the 10K loop around the Merrimack River, then joined up with the rest of the walkers - sounds like a zombie TV show I know and love - to do the 5K loop around the downtown.

A crowded start on the riverwalk behind the Tsongas Arena and the Boott Mills, but the crowd would thin before long.
Fresh off his role in the blockbuster Avengers movie, the Incredible Zach.

Finally, waiting at the finish was he of the Boston Bruins National Anthem and fist-pump, Rene Rancourt, who couldn't have been nicer to the fans.  He brought his Stanley Cup championship ring with him, which he was only too happy to let others try on.  Like I said before, it's not Green Lantern's ring, but it was still pretty cool hardware.
