History Behind the Name
Sent 2010:
The story behind the name of the 5K Run for Relief of Monkey Butt was just too priceless to pass up. I received this letter when the organizers
sent me the application. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Dear Michael:
As I mentioned last night, my wife, Ann, has been working on a project to promote awareness of a condition that has afflicted one of our dear friends.
This awful condition involves painful chafing of the rear end and upper thighs, and produces a Baboon-like red rash on the buttocks. It is known as "Monkey Butt" (or, euphemistically, as "MB."). Participants in certain "extreme" sports are especially at risk of developing this.
I won't mention any names, but Christine, the wife of our afflicted friend, made the mistake of disclosing his condition to my wife. Now, Ann is organizing a 5K run with Tony as the poster child - the first (and maybe last) "Run for Relief." It will be held on Saturday morning at the Cave-In. Peter Morgan will be the MC.
A copy of the Application to Run is attached. If you or any of your loved ones have been touched by MB, I encourage you to sign up. Together, we can get to the bottom of this problem. There's not yet a cure, but there can be relief!
Best regards,
- Bob
P.S.: In lieu of flowers for Tony, any excess proceeds from application fees will be donated to the SCCi.
