David Avery M.D., outlined by the yellow ellipse, takes off at the start line. Dr. Avery placed 8th in the men's division with a 20:57 (3 miles), 10th overall, and 3rd in the 50-59 age group. None of the rest of us came close to that. Congratulations! More information about the team and Dr. Avery can be found below.

Thanks to the Washington State Psychiatric Association (WSPA), Ron Sterling was able to put together a very enthusiatic team for the 2nd Annual Move for Mental Health Run/Walk. It took place on September 28, 2002, at Magnuson Park, Seattle.

This was the WSPA's first participation as an association in the Run, and we are looking forward to doing an even better job of representing psychiatrists and their friends next year. To view more photos, go to the Main 2002 Mental Health Run Page. Descriptions of photos are further below.
