TEAM VDF

For the second year in a row, VDF is sponsoring a group of runners running to raise awareness and fight against vascular disease at the LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon! Twenty-four runners from around the United States and Canada have trained hard all year to run this challenging race. As of the publication date of this newsletter, Team VDF has raised over $6,900 towards our fight against vascular disease; a complete update will appear in our winter newsletter. The dedicated team members have personally struggled hard through injuries and other trials and tribulations; won't you please support them in their cause? Even though the marathon will have completed by the time this newsletter is published, Team VDF will accept donations through the end of November. Visit the Team Web site and support a runner today at www.active.com/donate/vasculardisease.

Thank you and thanks to our runners for their hard work and efforts. We would also like to thank our sponsors for supporting Team VDF: Bard Peripheral Vascular, Cordis Endovascular, CV Therapeutics, DIOMED, Red Robin, sanofi-aventis, and W.L. Gore and Associates.
