Team Bob will participate in loving memory of Bob Knuff, amazing husband, dad, brother, uncle, friend, co-worker, coach and neighbor. . . Supporting Carcinoid Cancer Research and Awareness one day at a time. GET YOUR ZEBRA ON!!!

“Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road. Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go. So make the best of this test, and don’t ask why. It’s not a question, but a lesson learned in time. It’s something unpredictable, but in the end is right. I hope you had the time of your life. 

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind. Hang it on a shelf of good health and good time. Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial. For what it’s worth, it was worth all the while. I hope you had the time of your life.”

Ann Koch

Team Ann is in memory of Ann Koch, a very loving and fun Mother, Grandmother and friend. She passed away in October of 2014. She loved to garden, read on the beach, travel, and do just about anything outdoors, so our Lap-a-Thon Team will be thinking of her as we enjoy the outdoors on April 26th.
