Steve’s brother in law Vinnie asked him if he wanted to participate in the Jazz Half Marathon. Steve said yes.

Our friend Rick Crozier was practicing with a potential chair out on the lakefront:

When an awesome fella named John Treul stopped them and offered a better chair that he had designed for a friend.

Vinnie and Steve’s one practice run with the new chair. 7 miles. They agreed it would suffice.

The boys, Vinnie and Pauly came over at 5am to help Steve get ready.
