Canadian Evan Dunfee elated IAAF keeping 50K race walk
Thank you to EVERYONE who signed Chris Erickson’s petition and supported this important effort.
Special thanks also to Paul DeMeester, who flew to London to the IAFF Council meeting site, booked into the same hotel the IAAF were meeting in and delivered his impassioned plea for the saving of his event. Paul’s efforts were nothing short of heroic and represent the kind of commitment we should all have for causes that really matter.
