The annual Live with Passion is a fundraiser to support the work of the PV Volunteers. Volunteers host events in their communities and 100% of the money raised goes directly to the PV Volunteers and its programs.

Gainesville, FL
Life stays busy with projects and passionate living. So much living that we were unable to organize a grander event. Regardless of the number of people present, regardless of our lack of an organized activity and despite the small amount of money raised, we the PVs of Gainesville Florida LIVE PASSIONATELY EVERYDAY. Our gathering today helps us realize that everyday we are Passionate Volunteers. Everyday we touch lives around us. It is in our nature to live with compassion for others and this simple "hardwiring" is the reason that we give freely and volunteer often. It is the summer PV program which brings us together with others that are hardwired like us. So, cheers to the world of PVs! We love you all dearly & look forward to being together again soon!

Third Annual PV 24-Hour “Live with Passion” Relay Run
The Third Annual PV 24-Hour Live with Passion Relay Run took place on April 24-25th. The venue this year was again the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal * in the Washington, DC area. Participating this year were Tom Arnold, Matthew Dean, John Dean, Pete Johnson, Katie Rogus and Theresa Smith. Katie was new to the team this year but the others are veterans of at least one other LWP run. Jeanne Dean, Rose Hudecheck and Marianne Moore, as they have for the past two LWP events, provided the picnic lunch after all runners completed the course.
As we did last year, we began in Hancock, Md., where the first runner left about noon on Saturday, April 24th and the last runner pulled into Fletcher’s Cove, Washington, DC, around noon on Sunday, April 25th. A total of about 125 miles was covered by foot over a 24 hour period.
The weather this year was cool, and with rain during the night hours, and yet again we finished without any major setbacks or injuries along the way. During the day, runners enjoyed miles the quiet and beauty along both sides of the Canal. Night time runners were treated to the glaring eyes of critters reflecting the flashlights carried by the runner or the biker. We stopped at one transition point, and we were able to sleep for a couple of hours until the group was visited by three local coyotes. The howling from the coyotes woke most of the group although two teams members slept right through the ruckus!
The beauty of the Canal and sights and sound of the night, coupled with the camaraderie
enjoyed by the participants added to our ability to support the PV cause.
Once the trip was completed, Rose, Marianne and Jeanne provided a picnic lunch that was sincerely appreciated by all, including about 10 other PV supporters who joined us at the picnic. The weather cooperated so we were able to relax and enjoy the food before heading home to a hot shower and a soft bed
