Running at Mardi Gras to help SF charities

Katie Mason9 a.m.-2 p.m. at San Francisco's K-Bear is going to run in the Mardi Gras Marathon, now that her listeners took her challenge: "I'm on track to run 26.2 miles on February 27 in New Orleans.

If you'd like to support my effort to help the San Francisco AIDS Foundation's prevention and treatment programs, and would like to make a tax-deductible donation, please call me on the Bear Phone at (800) 905-9570, or e-mail me at kmason@957thebear.com for more info."

Rick, Katie and JD will all be giving away copies of "Friday Night Lights" starting Tuesday.
