Comments: We had a much better weather situation this year, unlike last year’s downpour. This troop was part one of a triple troop for many of the troopers this day (Bike Bald and the White Sox being the other two). Naperville Great Strides 5K Walk/Run benefits cystic fibrosis research. Once we suited up, we wandered the registration area, and posed with the participants. We also took group photos with several of the participating teams. At the start of the walk, we cheered the participants on, as they walked past the starting line.
Our involvement was complete after everyone cleared the starting area. Food and beverage was kindly provided to us at the completion of the event. Dave, our event representative, was very pleased once again with our presence there. He has already asked for us to return next year, and to be involved in a few additional Great Strides events in the area. This was the sixteenth consecutive year of the event, and our second.
