Pineapple Classic 5K Run (Mini-Cast #4)

KPSU and I are helping raise awareness about the Pineapple Classic 5K Run, an event held on August 13th at Pat’s Acres Karting Complex in Canby. The event is put on by The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and is a Hawaiian-themed run, with obstacles, a Luau at the end, and even a beer garden. You can find out more detailed information about the event on their website, linked above.

I initially talked about the run on July 31st. A second, follow-up interview and discussion went out on August 6th, this time interviewing my brother (and leukemia survivor) Kyle Rich. Both clips are featured in the above download. I’m a huge supporter of the LLS, not only because they continue to help fight cancer in these very specific forms, but help raise awareness of the problems that survivors face in dealing with their illness, and the aftermath. I know that I am personally affected because it hit my family, but this is a very good cause no matter what perspective you have, and I think many others will support it as well.

Even if you can’t make a donation, or participate in the run, this will mostly likely be a great event, and a lot of fun. Come out on the 13th and lend your support. They need all the help they can get.
