Posted by TawnyTucker on May 14th, 2011

Diamond Rio’s Jimmy Olander, Marty Roe and Gene Johnson were on hand last night during the 7th Annual Team Rio Finish Line Party to present Big Brothers Big Sisters with a check for $110,000.00. Team Rio 2011 had over 120 adult runners and 80 Team Rio Kids participants from several local schools.

Olander, Team Rio’s Celebrity Running Captain, accomplished his goal of finishing the half marathon in less than two hours.

“This years Country Music Marathon was a day to get it done!,” explains Olander. “The stars had all aligned for perfect weather. My training was impacted by so many people this year it’s makes me think it truly takes a village to raise a 49 year old! I finished at 1:58 and still felt kind of fresh. Life is good!”

It’s not too late to support the team. If you would like to make a pledge on behalf of Team Rio please visit www.teamrio/kintera.org.
