The annual ASDA Turner’s Trot 5k walk/run was held at Gallup Park on Sunday, March 27th at 1:00pm. This year’s event was even more special because Ryan Turner’s mother  flew in to join us from Oregon. All proceeds will be donated to Operation Smile. For those who do not know Ryan Turner, Ryan was a fourth-year dental student here at Michigan and was 27 years old when he passed away suddenly in January 2007. Ryan is remembered as a genuine and positive person with a unique laugh and great sense of humor. He held local ASDA leadership positions such as class representative and legislative liaison, and national ASDA leadership positions such as District 6 Trustee. His presence is deeply missed by his family, friends and dental school peers.Congratulations to our Male and Female Winners.  Lindsey Lalonde finished with an amazing time of 15:28 for the men, and Alexandra Petraszko finished with an excellent time of 21:33 for the women. Each were presented with gift certificates to Running Fit, located in downtown Ann Arbor.  We also wanted to thank Wetzel Insurance for providing refreshments and snacks.  Thanks again for coming out!  For those of you who would like to know your split time click the link for more.  Read the rest of this entry »
