Comments: The forecast for the day of the event did not look promising, and lived up to it’s prediction. Naperville Great Strides is a 5K Walk/Run benefiting cystic fibrosis research. Our involvement was to be available to the participants for photo opportunities, and to cheer them on as they began and completed the run. Ultimately, the rain and eventual thunderstorms cut the event short, so we did not get a lot of opportunity to take photos ourselves. However, we did pose with many persons that day, and the kids were very receptive to us, and very interactive.

Food and beverage was kindly provided to us at the completion of the event. Speaking with the event representative, they were very pleased with our presence there. We can definitely count on being asked to return next year. This was the fifteenth consecutive year of the event, and our first time there.
