Dinner and Night Before the Race
The Minnesota Angels hosted a home cooked spagetti
dinner for the teams the night before the race...
Special thanks to all those families who came to meet
and support race teams! Many racers and team members
commented later that they had never had anyone really
come out and support them like this in any other race!

A cake baked by the Minnesota Angels for the dinner
- the cake eludes to a documentary staring Julia Roberts
about Rett syndrome. This documentary airs on television
on the Discovery Health channel.
