Welcome to 2015!

As we ring in the new year, 8 of our Team Firefighter athletes are starting off on the right foot.
Eight TFFers are down in sunny (but cold) Florida running in the annual "Dopey Challenge" at Walt Disney World. In no particular order:

Jazz Zombo, Running in firefighting gear with Air-pack
Jamie Champion
Jim Williams
Dave Dushkin
Luke D. Lewis
Mike Pozika
Mark Cowderoy
Jeff Patrow



The races take place over 4 days and consists of a race each day, getting progressively longer. It starts with a 5K, then goes to a 10K, a Half-marathon, then a Marathon. As you can see, the collection of medals for the weekend is quite impressive.

Day 1: The 5K

As you can see from our pictures, spirits are high on the first day, even though the races start at the literal butt crack of dawn.
Everyone had a great time before, during, and after the race.

We will keep you all updated on their progress as the days go on with a final recap after the maraton on Sunday! Stay safe and warm, brothers and sisters!

Jazz, Jeff, Dush, and Jamie
