I'm so happy to see so much support for AG! after that idiot's comment. Thanks everyone.

So being the proud Dad that I am I am allowed to post two photos of Emma's first ever podium from12 years ago in Uppsala! (sorry kiddo). ;-)

Hey BorisGr, recognize the guy on the right?

Oh yeah and she got a signed Mats Troeng (of winsplits, quick route and LiveLox fame) card as well for the win.

Congrats again AG!

Besides the lame trolls (anonymous trolls on orienteering sites have to be some of the saddest organisms in the world), I did have to complain about something else, with all due apologies.

GoFundMe--great utility, I've used it a few times to contribute to things, such as extremely worthy causes like Emma, and will do it in the future. But, the nickel and dime fees. Surcharges and deductions. The only thing worse is some of the running race administrators... e.g., Active.com. Robbery. Anyway, I don't have any better ideas, it serves its purpose, just painful sometimes.
