Dear Fellow Athletes :

I have a bit of a favor to ask, although it will benefit many many people ( at least I think so). Let me start with a little history:

Lou Gallo ( Mr. Lou) is the music teacher at Eddie and Lucyann's school. He has been there for about 2 years and the children love him. He is creative and fun and also a former marathoner. This year, him and his band played during the ING 2011 NYC marathon for 4 hours, singing the "Marathon Song". This song is a tune Mr. Lou wrote in honor of the marathon. He is desperately trying to get this song out to the public. It can be purchased on iTunes as well as his album. One of his friends made of video of Mr. Lou and his band playing at the marathon and it is so inspiring to see the runners go by, cheering the band and taking pictures.

I hope I can find a way to let some of the other runners enjoy it! Here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOGjBHG7DXg

Cheers to you all and I look forward to seeing you soon.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
