First 5K for Lucas
Martin Lawing Benefit 5K
McAlpine Greenway, Charlotte, NC

Friday, February 15, 2008

Burke County Sheriff's Deputy Martin Lawing was a world class runner and triathlete until he was paralyzed as a result of being shot during a SWAT raid. Law enforcement agencies from all across NC gathered at McAlpine Greenway to run a 5K, with all proceeds going to the Lawing family.

It was great turnout on a February Friday that brought perfect running weather.

This t-shirt from the Burke County Sheriff's department says it all.

We also liked this officer's perspective...

Lucas is ready to go!

Just past mile 1 - we really were ahead of some people, you just can't see them right now. Honest.

After the race, Lucas loved the free water!

Grandaddy's little Wolfpacker had a good time.

Lucas, Grandaddy (Ron), and Mom (Bree) after the race. Good time for a good cause.
