Let's be honest
I felt like I had to share the whole story here. We set a team goal of $2500 for the relay. Then we realized that last year's top team raised $2700, so we raised our goal to $3000. As I said last night we reached the $3000 and even surpassed it. BUT, a few of us went to the relay happy hour last night and Pete, the coordinator of all things fun for the relay, told us another team was hot on our tails with donations. He also eluded to a really great prize package for the winning team! We set out to raise money for Judi's house in honor of Christy, and raise money we have. So.... if I'm going to be completely honest here...... Now....we want the prizes. We want to be the number one team! Is that a bad thing?

Definitely not a bad thing to want to be number one. Not even a bad thing to want to be recognized for the awesome things you're doing for yourselves (the running), your team (the bonding) and other people (your donation to Judi's House and Outward Bound). Your intent, spirit, tenacity and compassion are exactly the ideals that Outward Bound strives to teach and hopes that people will live in their everyday lives! Kudos to you and your team! Pete Mason
