San Antonio Spurs star Brent Barry and his wife Erin, once again, were the chairpersons for the Spurs Champions For Children Walk Run held recently at the AT&T Center. Despite freezing temperatures, strong winds, and rain, thousands came to do what they had promised. Their tenacity is a tribute to their commitment to the cause.

Among the many sponsors, Gibson Guitars donated a guitar (autographed by Brent) to give away. Here you see him showing it off to his youngest son.

And, here is the lucky winner who promised to take lessons and play for the crowd at next year's event.

Most touching were the personal stories of why many had decided to participate. Peggy Harrison, who works at Baptist Hospital, was there with her adopted twins, Bethany and Breanna. She told me that Breanna had been shaken as a baby.  I snapped this picture just after they had crossed the finish line.

Sally Rios said she was there to walk in memory of little Brian Rivera who died last year. His mother, Sandra, told me that when they heard about the run at her church, instead of one volunteer, over two dozen entered. Brian was, no doubt, smiling down on them all.

The top overall winner, Cole Dailey, crosses the finish line, cheered on by

the Coyote and Brent Barry. Great time! Click HERE for complete results.

I had a microphone, Brent had a gun, and the Coyote didn't have a clue.

Shoving was allowed, but no pushing.

Here are some happy runners who thought they had lost their car keys. Another runner found them and for awhile we almost had a grand prize to give the winner.

The members of San Antonio's premiere dance group, Kazamba gave it their all, cold or no cold. They invite you to join or sponsor them at www.Kazamba.org . Say it with me, "Viva Kazamba!"

Here is the Spurs' littlest fan who hopes to one day be a Silver Dancer. Nice shoes!
