Registered Trademark

Hello everyone,

Racing for Recovery has our name and logo approved as a registered trademark. What this means is NOBODY can utilize our name or logo in any capacity without legal consent from Racing for Recovery. In other words we are protected from those who want to not only take our concept but our look as well. I have done everything in my power to ensure the public that we are a legitimate organization and once again getting our registered trademark approved is another example of that.

I would like to thank Eric S from Florday for coming up and being involved in many things Racing for Recovery does including speaking engagements, support group meetings and other business. Eric saw us featured on ESPN and is now getting Racing for Recovery implemented in Florida. This same comment goes to Craig H of MN who is organizing our 5k out there. We have a tentative date in November set and the course is going to be approved this week. Thanks guys this is how we grow and impact more people.

I did a speaking engagement locally for an elementary school this week where I took my daughter Madison. There were 600 kids in attendance and 3 television stations covered the event as well. I met each and every student and also met with 3 individually as well.

I also passed the written exam for my chemical dependancy liscense last week. I will take the verbal exam soon. In addition to the Master of Counseling Degree I have obtained, I want to be credentialed in this field as well. It is one thing to have the personal experience as a former addict it is another to get the education to back up what you say.

Training is going well for Ironman China on Aprl 20. I did a 13 mile run in 5 degree weather today. I received a question during the speaking egagemet the other day by a very intelligent 9 year old who simply asked "what do you think about when you train or race"? The answer is simple, I think of those who Racing for Recovery has helped and those who will be helped. This is in addition to my family, God and friends who have made all of this possible.

The reality show is in pre-production and getting exciting. I can't wait for the world to see this worthy recovery (notice I said recovery and not addiction) television show and be helped by it. For those who have been told you can't do something in your life, I will leave you with this "With Sobriety Anything is Possible"
