Pat Tillman died nearly a year ago, but he is not forgotten. Perry Edinger, an ultramarathoner (read: nutcase -- and I mean that in the best possible sense) and friend of Pat's, has organized Pat's Run, which will be held on April 16 in Tempe. Fittingly, the race will stretch 4.2 miles and finish at the 42 yard-line of Sun Devil Stadium, in tribute to Pat's No. 42 that he wore during his ASU career. There will also be a .42 mile fun run for the kids.

Most importantly, thanks to the large contribution from sponsor VIP Homes, all of the entry fees collected will go directly to the Pat Tillman Foundation.

As a TiVo alert, ESPN will profile Pat Tillman on April 22, at noon on ESPN and at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. on ESPN Classic.

Thanks for posting that. Pat Tillman was such an inspiration, and most of us can use something positive and uplifting right about now.
