Fundraiser for ALS Awareness–Do It Like Dan May 13th


 2nd Annual Do It Like Dan “Choose Your Own Adventure” fundraiser for ALS is scheduled for May 13th at Billings Farm and Mt. Tom. 

Do It Like Dan has a couple of running options, in case our CBHM runners (and previous Road to the Pogue Runners) might be looking for a Trail Run. 

If you’re “Jonesing” for a beautiful but challenging run and want to support a worthy cause organized by friends of local resident and all-around-excellent-human Dan Jones, check out The Inside Straight and Outer Limits running routes on Mt. Tom. 

It’s an afternoon event, so instead of pancakes, they are having a big après event party with music, food, beverages.
