God's Love We Deliver - Race to Deliver '09


A couple of Sundays ago I shot God's Love's Race to Deliver. It is their largest fund raiser of the year. It is produced in conjunction with NY Road Runners.


The race has thousands of runners. They raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to feed New Yorkers.

This year Law and Order:SVU's Tamara Tunie (also a GLWD board member) was there to cheer the racers on.

Also cheering the racers was Cheer NY. They are NY's all-volunteer non-profit adult cheerleading squad.


They were doing some crazy moves early on a Sunday morning. I needed dramamine just to keep from getting sick from watching some of the stunts they were pulling.

Here we have the winner of the race. He did the course in like under 20 minutes. I can't remember how long the course is, but 20 minutes is an impressive time for it.


I wanted to do a quick gallery of the racers.




The woman in the black fleece in the next shot, in the middle of the frame is Narda Duchine. Narda is a dedicated GLWD volunteer. I was glad that I spotted her and got a couple of frames off as she whizzed passed.

After the race, there were races for kids.

This is a fun part of the event. The kids get really into it.


After they cross the finish line they each get a ribbon.

This year Ms. Teen USA Stormi Bree Henley was there to hand out ribbons to the kids.

Board member Blaine Trump was right there with her giving those ribbons out.

It was a great day and over $400,000 was raised for a great cause.
