Training Update: Brian has had a short break from the pool. His birthday, as well as a number of other October obligations, have made the training schedule a challenge for this month, He has still done some treadmilling and continued with his stretches and exercises. Back in full force in November.
This upcoming Saturday, he will miss his training because he has been asked to represent UGA Miracle at the Florida/ Georgia game in Jacksonville FL.
This game is always a huge one, despite the team records. A large stadium split in half. UGA fans on one side, Florida fans on the other. These fan bases do not like each other. (understatement of the year).
One unifying thing about both schools is that they both have a Children's Miracle Network Dance Marathon. Combined, college students from these two Universities raised over $4 million in 2017 dance marathon activities. How does that compare to what you did as a college student?
We have been involved with UGA Miracle for over three years. Trust me when I say that the fundraising is not nearly as impressive as the way that this organization has embraced many families including our own. Brian is treated like a rock star by the students. Don't believe me? Check out his talent show performance this year. (this video never gets old)
So the Ga/FL game recognizes the fundraising and family relations accomplishment of these student organizations by letting each University invite one family and recognize them. This year, Brian and I will be on the sideline for the first quarter, and the recognition happens between the 1st and 2nd quarter. If you are at the game - wave. I will post some pictures.
Brian, as always. is so pumped to see his UGA friends at the game. He is also excited to possibly meet the family from UF as well as UF Students. If anyone can unite these two fan bases, it is Bmoney.
In the mean time. Gooooo Dawgs.
