First of all, I want to thank everyone who helped put together such a great event and that includes the runners!  This year (the 3rd Annual Vertical Dash for Diabetes) grew to nearly 150 runners/walkers hitting the stairs to help find a cure, treat, and educate about diabetes right here in Kansas City bu benefitting the American Diabetes Assocation.  Below is a video Zach Cobb helped me (and by helped me, I mean completely did himself) put together from the event.  Be sure to check out our sponsors and really consider any of their products or services next time you are hunting in their various industries.  Their support of the community is what makes all of these events possible and I would love to reward them with more business.
