Meet Karen Trommer ((Enable Javascript to see the email address)) 
Favorite race day tradition - This race is our annual tradition. We bring the whole family and get an extended family member to come down and route for us and watch the kids. We love to have our kids routing for us on the side line and it just wouldn’t be the same without seeing Kate’s smiling face. We get a hotel room, attend the pasta dinner and make a weekend out of it. It is my favorite weekend of the year!!!
What does endurance mean to you? “I will endure what I need to endure so that my child won’t need to endure”.
Running mantra: Cure NF!
What is playing on your iPod - Well…..I don’t actually have an ipod, I use my phone. Also haven’t uploaded music in a while…………last year was “Down with the Sickness”. This year I will be listening to Jeremy Camp’s “This Man” if I can ever figure out how to download onto my new phone!!
If your shoe laces could be any color… Well, I think I would love to have bright yellow shoe laces or just go for the gusto and get bright yellow sneakers like our teammate Chad Leathers
And Angie Hallmark ((Enable Javascript to see the email address)) 
Angie is involved with the team because of her best friend, Erin Earle. “Without a cure Erin will not have the opportunity to continue to be the beautiful person that she is,” says Angie. Erin has NF2.
Angie likes to say that she is “running for love.” Below is what that means to her…
It means that we run with greater purpose.
It means that when we are tired, sore or busy…we run anyway.
It means that we run because we will not be helpless in Erin’s fight to survive this crippling disease.
It means that we will stand-up to those ticking time bombs in her body called tumors.
It means that we will not stop running until a cure is found, because Erin can not wait for a cure, we need a cure NOW.
We run for Erin, We run for all of those suffering with NF, We run for love, We run because finding a cure for NF is the only option!
