Morgan's Special Thank You to All of GECKO's Sponsors and Partners
It's incredible. Thanks to the support of people just like you, we’ve come amazingly far in just one year. So many great things are happening it is a race just to keep up. To make it easier for everyone to follow along, we’ve added a few new features. This newsletter is the first of many. We promise not to spam you, but we also are excited to tell you about the new programs and scholarships that we’ve been able to offer! In addition, GECKO is now using Twitter to micro-blog about relevant news items and happenings. Also, if you're new to our website, you’ll notice that there is a brand new way to donate to GECKO through a service called TipJoy. It’s completely safe, and uses the Paypal account you already have. Best of all, the suggested donation amounts are small (though they can be any size) and we’ll Tweet about your good works (through Twitter) on GECKO’s behalf!
For 2009, GECKO has also gained support from a couple of top-shelf, forward thinking companies. Carmichael Training Systems (CTS), which has lead the coaching and personal guidance industries with proven and innovative products, services, and content since 2000. The results speak for themselves; no other coaching company produces more champions, in such a wide variety of sports and age groups, than CTS. In an innovative move, CTS has signed on with GECKO and as a sponsor for the RUNColorado Pagosa Peaks Trail Race Series. Not only are they providing GECKO with support, they are offering it to you as well. This includes:
- A free training plan for anyone who signs up for a Pagosa Peaks trail race
- A free, no obligation coaching consultation is available to anyone who signs of for the entire Pagosa Peaks Series
- Discounted entries into the CTS Running Camp in Leadville, CO
- CTS Coaches at all of our events to support you and answer your questions
We’re also proud that footwear leader Montrail is supporting GECKO. Montrail delivers premier trail-running and hiking footwear for outdoor athletes around the world who expect excellence from themselves and their products. For everyday comfort, Montrail created a uniquely contoured, thermo-moldable sandal and insole. Montrail is synonymous with the best fitting, cutting-edge outdoor footwear. As they say, “Best on Trail™ is more than a phrase. Top athletes live it and it's our commitment to them.”
To our sponsors and to each of you: Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to hearing from you often and seeing you soon.
Sincerely,
Morgan MurriFounder, GECKO
