The father daughter running team of Kalee Ricks and Thomas Ricks are planning to embark on a running challenge this May of truly inspiring nature.  They are going to run/hike the first 1000 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail in 40 days, which means they are moving at least the distance of a marathon each and every day.  To add to the prowess of this physical feat these Colorado Springs locals are running for a cause. They are collecting money through donations on their website to give back to their favorite trail-building non-profit, yours truly, RMFI!!

Those of us here at RMFI rarely get paid compliments on the order of this one and we would like to profusely thank Kalee and Thomas for what they are doing! According to their video, see below, this team has decided to run for RMFI because they have been appreciative of our hard work in the front range for years. If you like what you see here go check out their web-page and maybe even throw a few bucks their way to support their goal.
