Having to sit at home during the 2011 Walt Disney Marathon weekend was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. To know that my friends were down at the "World" having fun, running and socializing was depressing. Fortunately, I did find an outlet from home. In 2010, Lou Mongello and a team of captains formally created the WDW Radio Running Team benefiting the Dream Team Project. I was one of the captains, but the only one not attending Marathon Weekend. After much discussion, it was decided that I would give support, advice, and communications thru our Facebook Page, emails, Twitter and text messaging before and during the weekend. While being in Tennessee, I could follow our team members running thru the ESPN Wide World of Sports updates and focus on relaying messages to our team and support group. It worked great. I called myself the "Online Captain" and Lou decided to call my post "Command Central." On this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show, we discussed the weekend and the fabulous benficiary of the Dream Team Project, Make a Wish Foundation of America.
We will continuously be looking for new members to our team. Anyone interested should contact Val at valerie@wdwradio.com. Our team will hopefully be represented at all Walt Disney World running races.
