TEAM BLAZEMAN NEWS - May 9, 2007 Blazeman Warriors, Here's a great fundraising idea from Blazeman Warrior Jennifer Tebbetts — Jennifer is competing in the Eagleman 70.3 on June 10. She is soliciting 70 people to donate $70 each toward this event. As Jennifer is body marked on race day she will also write the names of the 70 (or more) people who are donating. I can't wait to see the pictures! Speaking of Eagleman — it promises to be an amazing day for both competition and the War On ALS. Make sure to stop by the Team Blazeman booth at the expo and get your new uniforms and other gear. Check Eagleman and the Columbia Triathlon (May 20) out at www.tricolumbia.org. #179 – Request bib number 179 for ALL races that you register for - 5Ks, 10Ks, Marathons, and tris. You will feel the power as you 'blaze' the course with the number that represents courage and determination. Team Blazeman athletes are everywhere and rolling across finish lines! The following are those that I'm aware of in the next few weeks. West Coast Warriors - please send me your upcoming events!

Matt Reed May 27 - IM BRAZIL Karen O'Riordan The Blazeman Foundation would like to thank Matty Reed — 2008 Olympic Hopeful and 2007 St. Anthony's winner and record breaker for his continued support of the War On ALS. Matt shared the thoughts of all of us in an upcoming article. "...I wanted to use my talents to help fight ALS. I want to help Jon Blais raise awareness and funds so we can beat this disease. I take his strength and courage with me every time I take the starting line. It makes my career that much more passionate to race for the Blazeman Foundation." Matt will be defending his title at Escape from Alcatraz in June and will be raising money and awareness for the War On ALS while he is there. Thank you all for being in the army; for creating awareness, for raising money, for your passion to stop ALS. Send us your stories, your calendars, your photos - remember to 'get it on film.' The Blazeman's physical voice may not be what it used to be, but his "voice" will always be heard through his Blazeman Warriors on the battlefield.... So Others May Live Thank you for your commitment to the War On ALS. Please email any updates and changes to Karen Duffy at knduffy@bellsouth.net. Karen Duffy The Blazeman Foundation
